Slip-N-Slide

We live in a very hilly neighborhood. Generally speaking I really enjoy the winding bobbing roads. Last night was different. We had an ice storm, which made the steep road in front of our house a big slipper slide. Some people inexplicably thought they could drive down the hill. I was scrapping the ice off our driveway when I saw one attempt. She slid all the way down and crashed into our bushes. (We have bushes lining the street. And thank goodness too, because if they weren't there I would have had several cars in my yard last night.) I spent some time digging her out before returning to our driveway. I then went in the house and soon another guy crashed into the bushes in a different spot, taking out our mailbox. I put on my boots again and dug him out as well. When I woke up this morning there was a flashing yellow light. I peeked out the window to see a snowplow high centered on the retaining wall between us and the neighbors. Those are boulders that he knocked onto my lawn. I'm not sure how I am going to lift those back on top of the wall. Winters are going to be interesting around here.

Bed Covers

I like to have the bed covers loose, so that I can wrap them around my feet to keep them warm. My wife likes them tucked in tight, also so that her feet stay warm. Until now, I thought it was just a matter of preference. Now I realize that my way is indeed better, at least in one way.

Spending

What is the White House trying to divert our attention from by focusing on gun control?

That recessed lighting in my front room. I did that on Saturday! Now we don't have to live with that single lamp. It's so nice to have light.

Dang!

Leadership

Leadership: Making everyone stand around you in a semi circle as you wax eloquent in a halting diatribe. "Hey Joe, bring me my scepter and a mojito!"
