Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Great news about Zoe!
My exciting news -- possibly meaningful only to Perkins and Nora -- is that I have achieved the Magic Beer(TM)! I would open one up right now if I weren't about to go back out to the pharmacy and then the gym, where I am going to test out my back with a walk around the track, speed somewhere between "sedate" and "brisk."

meara, I have to ask - are people in Washington the state any better with snow that in Washington the city?
HA. Seattle drivers are notoriously scatterbrained and easily confused/distracted by changes in the weather. "Oh my G*d, a giant bright thing in the sky! What does it meeaaaaan? Oh my G*d, water from the sky! How should I drive?"
(I say this as a Seattle native. My people, sometimes not good drivers.)
Anyway, combine that with lots of hills and very few snow plows/sand trucks, and it adds up to the city pretty much shutting down in snow.

When I lived across the sound in Silverdale, I was always amazed at the number of SUVs that ended up in the ditch, while the little sedans were able to keep on the road.

When I lived across the sound in Silverdale, I was always amazed at the number of SUVs that ended up in the ditch, while the little sedans were able to keep on the road.I visited my father at work once when he was working at an auto body repair shop. It was during a snow spell in NY. The lot and all bays were PACKED with SUV's. I asked him about it, and he was like "Eh, they are the dumbest drivers. They never read the manual. They think 'oh I have 4x4 I can drive in anything'. What they forget is, as soon as you hit the brake, it disengages the extra traction you had in 4x4 mode. So they drive too fast and break too hard, and give us lots of business".

I was always amazed at the number of SUVs that ended up in the ditch, while the little sedans were able to keep on the road.
This happened a lot in NE Ohio too and it was because the idjits who had SUVs thought "Oh, I have 4-wheel-- I can continue to drive as fast as I like i.e. exceed the speed limit!"
Having been a Jeep owner back then, I was deeply embarrassed by those people.
