My brother switches his tires for Winter, I think. I know he did fairly recently. In Idaho.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Last winter I had no idea folk anywhere switched tires with the seasons. But in talking to people at work and at the dojo, that seems to be the thing to do here. I just know I slid around last year and need to do something different this winter. I can't afford a different car, but I can swing new tires.

I have no idea if last year's winter boots are still good or if I need a new pair.

I tossed mine because they were falling apart - $30 cheapies from Marshall's - so now I'm on the hunt again for this winter.

OMG, my dad met my director at a board meeting the other day and was all "My daughter, Sara, work for you in the archive." facepalm Astro = small and incestuous. And now that's twice that I know of that he's used me, a pretty much peon, as a namedrop. Tickles me silly.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My fam switched to snow tires every winter we lived in Colorado. They really do help.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Come to think of it, my dad did while we were growing up - I remembered changing the snow tires on my parent's '73 Mercury once I was old enough to drive. Later they switched to all-season tires for the cars but still used snow tires on the truck in winter.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Congrats, Sara!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congratulations sarameg.
At Isaac's request we went around the neighborhood to look at Halloween decorations. Holy handgrenades! I had no idea! There are a couple outstanding houses. I knew about the one done up like a proper English churchyard with a giant Death looming over it, we drive by it when we take Franny to school. But there were more! One house had a full moon over it, and a witch flew past it. Plus they had all the great MGM monsters in the yard.

These I clutch to my bosom and go HELLS YEAH. I was a very important part of them. I've worked my ass off on them.
Oh, sara, go you!
And is it OK to say that it makes me so happy to read somebody being happy regarding what they had been doing? Your joy, in both the awards and in acknowledging that you deserve them, was so much fun to read.
We just finished one of the hottest scorches of the year yesterday. I do not know what is this winter thing which you are speaking of.
