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

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

Those pictures are terrific! Palm trees with a coating of snow are just so surreal.

Well, snow is rare enough that it's mostly a lie back and think of England summer thing. It gets cold enough a lot of the time, but dry. Still, spectacular when it happens.
lori, I e'd you some pics.

Cass, my hometown similarly. 4000 ft river valley.

Because books.
Up here sometime around Halloween all roads and parking lots are planted with wooden stakes, so plowers can see where the boundaries are. It's all very depressing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yes, yes, this is another objection I have to snow. You can't see anything on the ground! How do you know where the lanes are? The curbs?

The Target near me does this. Of course, I only noticed one when I snagged a bag on it..
