Snowpocalypse 2010

So we're currently under siege by a record breaking, 18-24" snow storm. We were sent home early from work today and the public schools didn't even open. I'm looking out our two-story window and the trees are so laden they look like they might fall over. I'm already antsy and bored anticipating a weekend indoors. I haven't done much beyond work all week and I'm feeling eager to get out and explore a bit. But, alas, the VW Golf will not permit it.

Which reminds me... our good friend and natural-born salesman, Jay Taylor, sold our snow beast for us last week (the GMC Jimmy). It was a great winter car but I don't know that it would have made it out here. We're missing it at the moment though. There are some advantages to being reduced to one vehicle. Insurance you say? Not so. Our insurance will actually go up now that we are both considered primary operators for our one vehicle even though I take the bus to work most days. This, unfortunately, is due to my big city driving habits that have not mixed well with small town police forces. Hence my less-than-impeccable driving record. No, the advantages of being limited to one vehicle relate mostly to gas costs and repair costs (hopefully) and licensing, etc. And, I get reimbursed for using the bus, so patience has its perks. Or maybe that's just government employment.

Well, I feel that in my boredom I've resorted to rambling so I think this is a good place to stop. Until next time.
