And boootiful!
Very much so. Enjoy! And stay warm. Man, it gets cold there.
I am missing the desert a lot right now. The stark beauty.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Maybe we might not head out tomorrow night. This just in, on another board: Joshua Tree National Park is now closed. I'm not kidding. No one will be allowed in until further notice. Hwy 247 is also closed. There's about 4-6" in town (JT), 9" in yucca Valley and it's still coming down. It is so pretty.

Just called mom. "Yeah, I heard Curtis [the NP superintendent] was going to close it."
She's got eight inches and she's off Park Blvd to the right where the water tower is.

Apparently? They can't find the road. So once it stops snowing and they can snow plow the roads, it'll reopen. Um, assuming they FIND the roads.

"Well, it was here yesterday. Between those two cactuses. Or maybe those two. Which way's north again?"

"I know it was lying around here somewhere."
I just heard from a friend that Las Vegas got snow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Dude, Muppets!

It's not there are buildings. There are Joshua Trees and big rocks. And one (okay, three) little roads. More than a couple of inches and you can't see the curbs anymore. I am still totally amused that they lost the road.

That is awesome. I'm taking snowshoes and my ICEBOX igloo maker.

It's hilarious! And such a thing you'd expect in the high desert (though I know JTree is a little more accustomed to snow): We got snow. Because of that, we've misplaced the road.
Basically, that mentality was what shut down town when we had more than an inch or two. We didn't even have plows.
lori, have a blast! Decorate a yucca or something. (We had a yucca tree one year. We were going to be out of town for the holiday, but wanted to put something up. Hence a yucca stalk.)
