Brrrrrrr

It's 15 degrees out there, icy and snowy and I'm about to go out in it!

I broke out the leather hiking boots today, no more tennies for now. Tennies are too slippery to walk across our parking lot in, so I will be only using them on clear, no-snow days!!

It's days like today that I loveLoveLOVE my remote start! I just started my car and have about 10 minutes until I leave. Hopefully all the ice will be almost gone and I can scrape my car easily, maybe just with the windshield wipers!

I have two ways to get off this river bluff I live on, which is a great place to live when the Mississippi River floods, but not so great when you have to ski down it to get away! No matter which way I go, the hill is very long and steep. Altho one way ends abruptly at a stop sign on a fairly busy highway and the other just goes on down to a long flat area. Altho there's a stop sign at the end of that flat area, it's much easier to stop on the "backside" of the hill than on the front side. So I almost always go the back way! The only problem with the backside is that there are always deer along the road, both dead and alive. When I go to work, it's still dark and they haven't bedded down for the day yet. But they are roaming all over looking for a safe place to sleep. This must be where the deer and the antelope roam? Altho I haven't seen any antelope in this area!

Well, wish me luck, I'm off and running. Have a great day!
