News! It is so Snowy in Maine this AM That I Can't Get to Work in My 4 Wheel Drive with Diff Lock
2.11.05 | mlmr

Posted on 02/11/2005 4:17:23 AM PST by mlmr

I went out at 530 this AM to drive the fory miles to work. I have a 1/4 mile driveway but I was unfazed. Until I backed my fourwheel drive with diff lock on out of the garage. The snow was so deep and packed that it just lifted the body up. I managed to crab it into the garage, and called to say I would be late.

I called my plow man and his wife said that he was out and stuck in his two ton plow rig. He was waiting for some help to arrive in the form of his giant tractor plow.

Haven't seen a snow like this for a while.... and I am no wuss.

It's cool here at about 50. Have yet to the see the first snowflake in east Texas. We never have to shovel heat. I used to put up with the snow in Missouri. Never again.



Let's talk again when it is 140 degrees in the shade in Texas and one cannot be outside for more than one minute without searing the lungs.

The Dog Identity Program. Don't you know that it was cut under the Clinton Administration and the funds redirected to the Intern Training Program. Your dog's days are numbered.

Make sure you send out cute Marines.

Too far inland to worry about ocean and have learned to expect the real cold for several months.

Actually, living in a small isolated community is like going back to the 50's. No crime, drugs in schools, or getting too excited about having to be anywhere in a hurry. Something about not having locks on doors or ever taking keys out of vehicles.

How about a plate of lasagne and one really cute Marine? I like 'em with grey hair and steely blue eyes.

Good heavens, I looked at your homepage. I wish you were my sister. Ummm, yes on the physical atributes of the Marines, but I would never be able to divert attention from my girls, which is fine in the great scheme of things.

Global warming at work. Ironically today I heard another envirowaco saying that the end is near and that Alaska, Glacier Park and other areas are melting fast due to GW (not Bush). It was 65 degrees today and warming fast while raining. Is that good? The garden thinks so.

It is easier to shovel out the snow before the vehicle is stuck on it. {RightWhale's Axiom}

What's a 1/4 mile of shoveling to a determined person bent on getting to work?

Boy, the Maine was bred out of you fast.

Being an army brat can do that to you.
