Yeah... this way you get our leftover weather instead of the fresh 
sweetness.   However, they say leftovers can be better...

What say you, those intrepid sojourners east of this valley in which 
I reside?    It started snowing yesterday at 0-dark-30.   It's noon 
on Saturday and the snough is only now beginning to slack off... for 
the time being.   Who knows what else is gonna happen.    The world 
is a white lumpy blanket.


As mentioned, "slack off" doesn't mean "stop".

...since that self-proclaimed Internet inventor guy tampered in the 
domain of the Weather Gods.   He has angered Them...

A pox on him, he who would also decree that the internal combustion 
engine (such as that which powers Corvairs) be mandated banned by 
gubmint...  while he continues to sell carbon credits to the guilt 
ridden hybrid drivers, credits which direct monies paid for same into 
the coffers of a company in which he himself is the majority stockholder.


Stay away from my Vairs Al... go back to your megawatt consuming 
house and tell the driver of your 8500 lb limo that gets 6 mpg that 
you won't be needing a trip to the airport to fly off in a private 
jet to Copenhagen anytime soon because the airport is shut down 
because of an unexpected massive influx of frozen dihydrogen monoxide...

...a dangerous compound common in industrial and commercial areas 
which is fatal in excessive amounts and should be banned.   Quick, 
get onto that symposium and issue a call to arms before it's too late!

I still need to fix the crack in the head pipe of the '60 4-door so 
as to make it non-noisy (ran over an iceberg that smacked the 
headpipe and cracked it at the joint where the collar bolts to the 
manifold).    But I can hardly make out the 4-door at all.   I 
recognize the white mound that's occupying the spot where I left the 
car, under which it is probably waiting for the spring 
thaw...  pretty sure it's still in there.


The '67 coupe is parked by the road at the top of the driveway which 
is 1/8 mile long and unidentifiable as a driveway at this time.

Not much point in even considering going anywhere until they plow the 
road... which likely will leave a berm of frozen slush blocking the 
driveway with a 4 foot high ice-dam not unlike the front of a 
glacier.     At least that's what happened last time it snowed like 
this...  which was...  last weekend...?


Meanwhile, as I peek out the back window, I see that the weather guy 
was right in his predictions that it would keep dumping on us until 
this evening.   It's gonna end soon.   The air can't hold much more 
of this stuff.
