The Neon Nurse's Charting

So, today was the day when teachers were to return to work from the Christmas vacation. Since Caro's dear darling car, the Nimbus '95, does not ACTUALLY fly (although it might have a go if it hit some of the ice potholes in the roads around here at the moment!), I drove her in to school. Mike came along too. Here they are at the school entrance.



I think I have mentioned the topic of storm shopping before. It was over a week since we last went grocery shopping, and naturally we now had a list of a few items that we were running low on. Butter, milk, bread, you know.

We were also under another winter storm watch today, and the long term forecast suggests another storm could be coming NEXT week.

So here is Mike in the Wal-mart parking lot, unloading our FIRST shopping cartful into Dreamcloud as I approach with the second....



Not too many other people were out driving around. Although not too many other people are as crazy as me.



Snow removal crew we came across on the way home. This was taken at about 11 am, and by the time Caro was ready to go home at four, these guys had COMPLETELY moved that long middle row of snow, about 9 blocks worth!



I did a lot of stuff today, but none of it was very interesting, except maybe the part where I stepped through an aquarium buried in the snow while I was looking for the flame thrower. Found it, so maybe tomorrow will be newsier.
