bah, humbug indeed!

Drove from Edwardsville to a bit north of Chicago today, leaving at
2pm, arriving about 8pm, maybe an hour more than normal.
Got my Ma from my sister, who lives there.
It was snowing all the way, but the highway crews on 55 did a good
job, and though it was a bit slow it was never really dicey.
Would have been a real pain without those crews out there.

Small world. My wife and her family is from Edwardsville. Most of her
crew still lives there.

anyhow, it snowed more last night but looks really good today.

Eh, the more I think about it, the worse it looks, really.

down the driveway, I see ice covering rock with snow on top. when I
leave in a bit, maybe i can take out the neighbors mailbox.

No, now that won't happen. I'll be in the Merc wagon, and it doesn't
wreck.


good I'm safe!

STAY HOME!

Luckily, we got no snow or ice in the DC area, but we did get rain, which
brought down a lot of leaves. Yeah, we're still messing with leaves!

I paid a guy $70 yesterday to get my leaves up, and this morning it looks
like he never came by. Crap.

I wish it would snow just so I'd have a good excuse to leave the damn
things on the ground.

John, you should ahve paid him today!

LOL!

it's bright and sunny here, and the salt boys are out in full force.
the highways are really wet, and it's supposed to get pretty cold
tonight. Either they're trying to beat the cold freezes, or their
trying to throw away some non-unsed funds. so they can get some
more...

oh well.....

Wel, looks like we here is S. ILL. got some nice fluffy snow!

I blew the leaves 2 days ago. But lots of leaves still on the Alders. Save
your money and get some excercise clean up your own leaves.

Right now it looks like my yard hasn't been touched. We've had rain and
we're supposed to get 50mph gusts later on. Maybe that'll *finally* get the
damn leaves off the trees.

Normally I do just that. But, I didn't realize what jerking on a rake will
do to a neck that's just been messed with. The doc says wait 6 weeks, and I
think, after some raking yesterday, he was right!

Thank God for Oxycodone!

A third of an acre. But, there's a dozen good sized (12-30" diameter) trees
dropping their damn leaves on it! It took two people, with blowers, and me
raking under bushes, a little over two hours.
