More Snow

[dxmachina]

It snowed and snowed and snowed today. What, it couldn't have waited until, like, Sunday when I'm down where it's warm. Noo! Not only that, but since it all came down while I was at work, my driveway was completely buried, as opposed to having the usual truck-sized spot of pavement showing that doesn't need to be shoveled. Feh. I couldn't even pull in, because the plow had been by, leaving a two foot deep pile at the end of the driveway that I had to slog through (in sneakers, I might add) to get to the snow shovel I keep by the side door. At least it was the light, fluffy kind of snow, easy to move around just by pushing it with the shovel. The only heavy stuff was at the end of the driveway. Small favors. Wound up with 8-10", which any other year would be a lot.

Still have a cold, and my voice has been cracking. It was in the nineties in Orlando today.

DX -- did you hear the Penguin news on NPR this morning?

Those "migrating" penguins in that zoo in California have apparently stopped - - the zookeeper (curator?) has been playing Johnny Mathis for them and they're now at the next stage: breeding season.

Hee, hadn't heard about it, but that's funny.

Actually, the first thing I thought of when I started reading your comment was the old Monty Python sketch of Michael Palin reading news reports aimed at animals.

No penguins were killed today in a three car pile-up on the M5 outside of Luyton...
