Snow Storm @ MindSay 
winter
Good Morning Friday
Have managed to get into my normal winter funk mode ..... and with no break on the horizon from the cold/snow ..... it gets harder to feel any motivation to even get out of bed. Winter is just not my gig. Making attempts to keep the spirit up though.
Been around as you may have noticed but haven't been active responding or writing. Every intention was to write yesterday but could not sit at the computer for longer than a few minutes for some reason. Not quite sure if I even read an entire post or not. Just one of those days.
Our pump went out last night so woke up to no water this morning. Dave was up and tromping through the snow early to figure out the problem. He got water flowing again, but not 100% sure the cause. Seems to be a lot of air in the lines so theres a possibility that we have a broken one somewhere .... under a few feet of snow .... hopefully not.
This is probably the most snow we have had since moving here in 2000 or at least as much as we have had before .... and more on the way the next few days. The neighbors across the way have been stuck in the driveway almost everyday now. Of course that blocks us from leaving but have not really NEEDED to go anywhere. Yesterday they were stuck for hours. Why don't we help you ask? Well ....
Several years ago we paid out of our own pocket with no help from them to have our driveway leveled and graveled .... we told them we were doing it and hoped that they would offer up some financial help but no. That winter it snowed pretty good and without our knowledge hired a local dude with a tractor to come and plow snow from our driveway .... he proceeded to tear it up. Not on purpose .... just without any knowledge that we had done improvements to the driveway. The neighbors neglected to tell him. Then after a tree fell from our yard across the driveway and we were all "locked" in .... with Dave and I hustling in a snow storm and them watching and waiting to get out we limbed and cut up and cleared the tree. Not one offer of help .... just an impatient stare. It rubbed us both the wrong way and since then ..... we could care less if they are stuck .... they won't get our help .... no matter how bad we need to get somewhere .... yes, I agree .... bad attitude .... but .... oh well.
But anyway the driveway is almost to the point of no return .... we could be here awhile ....
Mom will be leaving soon to get her Friday hair-do (Dave offered to drive her ... yay) so I will take the opportunity of having the house to myself to exercise in peace. Its funny because its when I am dripping with sweat .... barely able to breath .... that she decides it time to have a conversation. And when I ignore her she gets put out. And all I can do is laugh to myself. I couldn't get the VCR/DVD/CD player to work yesterday after we took a power loss .... hopefully I can get it to work today. Yesterday I was too much in a funky mood to want to spend time figuring out why it may be having these issues.
Well, shit ..... maybe I'll come back and ramble about nothing later ..... for now another cup of coffee before the workout sounds good .... and a grapefruit. Yum. Enjoy your Friday all .... stay warm and dry .... and if you are warm and dry .... just know that I HATE YOU!
Peace. J.

Where you at now Al Gore???
So.. here in Spokane we're working on a couple feet of snow, EASILY, and where's Al Gore??? That dirty phony is hiding in his house in the south where global warming is really taking an effect......... Oh no.. since there's a big storm, that means that global warming is making the climate snow more!! Global warming is causing more snow! Oh No!!! Its colder because its warmer! Where are you Al?? People are stuck in their homes, come melt the snow with the hot air you blow around! AAH! Its freakin cold too. But whatever.
Global warming? HOAX. Don't big Al tell you its happening when there are about as many scientists saying its not our fault as are saying it is. I hope CNN tells you all that snow is caused by global warming. So I can laugh.

The Best There IS, Be Excellent
We come from the land of the ice and snow...
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying, "Valhalla, I am coming!"
And so it was during the dawning of a new year that I have taken time out of my busy schedule to pen this great work of historical significance that I will share with all the known world and some parts that are unknown. And upon the day that I have chosen to write all things of importance, I find myself in the midst of a snowfall from which I neither have the time or monetary resources to escape, so I shall just sit...
And I shall here sit and write this little note that may one day be read by another. I shall sit here and watch the snows pile up outside this window. I shall sit and enjoy the fact that I have allowed myself the opportunity to sit, to write, and to watch the snows as they gently cascade before my eyes whilst I sit indoors and keep myself warm. And this will be the plan for today's activities for this is the path that I have chosen and the path that I shall remain upon until I find it necessary to change paths...
And I shall watch as the snow rains down from Heaven, and I shall marvel at each and every flake that I see before me. I shall gaze upon them with awe as the slowly cover the world that is beyond the window, each flake - a new creation for which there will never be another quite like it. And we the people of this rock are created as differently as the snowflakes for even if we cloned ourselves we would still find that there are differences that make us unique as we fall gently to the ground from which we came and will one day return...
And I sit and watch on this glorious day that I have granted myself and I shall do so until I reach the point that I decide to do something else with my time, and that time has come for it would seem that through the snow a delivery has been made to my abode and it's the nerd goodies I have been waiting for - the man has sent me my fix and I shall have to end this time-out that I have called and I shall have to install the megadose of RAM into my ÜberPuter and see what joys the brain transfusion will do as I ramp up from half a gig to two and a half gigs of pure power to the brain functions of the multiprocessor beast...
And so it is and so it shall be...
This is the Word of the AntiCrust...
Praise be ye who Read the Word for ye are Blessed amongst humans...

Holy hell we got a lot of snow!
We are still under the Winter Storm Warning until 6:00 tomorrow morning. As of now, we have about 24 inches of snow. It was forcasted to be between 8 and 14 inches. Damn damn damn.
Big snow storm today
You know it's bad outside when the snow drifts into your door and nearly locks you inside! Or keeps you outside. I had to shovel my way into my friend's store today. Anyone who is out to shop for Christmas today has got to be really hardy, brave, or crazy. I must be one of those today. The photos are the view for the downtown area in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. It looks like a holiday card out there, but, trust me, it's not a quaint storm out there. To anyone driving in this weather: BE SAFE!
