I Love My Neighbor
I knew he was working on his driveway with his snow blower but it took a little bit for me to realize that the sound of the blower had moved.
Truths That Are Self Evident
55 million innocent, defenseless human beings slaughtered. Anyone who thinks that legalized murder hasn't had an impact on our culture is a fool.

Sigh
The garbage needed taken out. "Out" being the attached garage. One has to unlock the door to go into the garage. But apparently my hand hit the lock just right, or rather, just wrong, as I went out the door. And the door swung closed behind me. Locked.
You know the whole use a credit card to jimmy the lock thing? Well, it does work - I've done it. But your door has to be loose. I didn't have a credit card because they were on the other side of the locked door along with my keys and cell phone but I do have a variety of putty knives and I proved that no thief is going to get through that door that easily. Wire. I have wire that can be bent into hooks, yes I do, but not thin enough wire to slip into the lock. I ain't gettin' back through that door from there without damaging the door.
Yes, I do have a lock box with a spare key in it. On the other side of the house.
Did I mention that I'm wearing flip flops? And that there's a good 6 inches of snow on the ground?
Yeah, that was fun.

Up The Stairs, Down The Stairs, Up The Stairs, Down The Stairs
So a friend of mine is moving to Fredericksburg, VA. She doesn't have to have the house here cleared for a month but she has forward momentum now as everything falls into place for the move and she asked a few friends to help her pack and move a few things the past weekend.
A few things. Uh-huh. She is now pretty much moved. Two very long days that reminded me that I plan to hire movers for my next move. Or it's going to involve a can of gasoline and a match.
I'm really over stairs now, as well. When I win that $400 million lottery my dream house will not involve stairs.
And don't ask me how much work I got done at my own place over the long weekend.
But at least I made it to the grocery store yesterday along with the other locusts. We've moved into the upwards of a foot of white and fluffy range. But since I'm a teleworker the government closure doesn't affect me. Drat. Moving my friend's house means my own house is still filthy.
