That's the deck. We use it so infrequently, I'm not really sure what that stuff is under the snow; probably a table and a chair of some kind.
That's one of the neighbors' houses across the way.
See that object behind the wild plum tree? It's a car (not mine, fortunately).
Update: Great news! We're supposed to get another 4 to 5 inches of snow Tuesday night!
Yojimbo, clean out that garage, buddy; as soon as we can get to an airport, me and the missus are heading for Tucson.
That sure is alot of toasty Gaia goodness. If you and the Missus are in desperate need, we might be able to arrange a drop of essentials. One of the lumps on the deck might be the snow blower.
ReplyDeleteIs it true that Wronwright is planning on shoveling the stuff into a large moving truck and heading off to sell
flavored cones in warmer climes? You might check one of those lumps on the deck. It looks suspiciously like Wron fell asleep.
Do the Feds give Snow Days?
Good luck!

Hey, I'd like to buy a truckload of that global warming if Wronwright makes it this far south.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you need snow shoes, Paco!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a scene from Magnificent Ambersons.
ReplyDeleteI suspect they're playing politics with the snow fall amount up here in Maryland. If the official count at BWI airport hits 28 inches federal money becomes available. Not surprisingly, BWI hasn't released an official number since about 10:30 am Saturday, several hours before the snow ended.
ReplyDeleteHow much you want to bet O'Malley sent a guy with a shovel to the airport?
Retread
Deborah: As a matter of fact, after the last big storm, the government did close down for a day (it closed early this past Friday, too). All I know is, I ain't goin' nowhere until they plow my street. The snow is about two feet deep (I had to dig out a place in the front yard just so Mabel - the official dog of Paco Enterprises - would have a place to, er, perform her morning routine).
ReplyDeleteShutting down DC is, to my way of thinking, a Very Good Thing.
ReplyDeleteJeff: That is true on at least two levels: taxpayers are better off, and I get a day off!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good excuse to stay inside and read, or watch one of the classic matchups in all of professional sports-Bruins/Habs, on now.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't have to cart You Know Who around to shopping centers that need street lights within the shopping centers, but I'm not complaining.
Look on the bright side, your air conditioning bill is....zero.:)
Yes, my snowdrops are blooming nicely.
ReplyDeleteCheers
You sure those lumps aren't sequestered carbons bubbling to the surface. You may be living in dangerous times.
ReplyDeleteClean the garage! Ha! Conquering windmills on a trusty steed, with or without sidekick, would be easier. We still have one storage locker here and two in Los Angeles. They call that perspective in some circles.
ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note. If you are thinking about that Death Valley trip this year you might want to plan on an early arrival. We are having a late wet spring here. Late wet springs in the past(our limited survey) have produced long HOT summers. Maybe that's all a byproduct of cycles or maybe there is an actual correlation. Just trying to stuff your information inbox.
Thanks for the tip, Yojimbo. I've read some pretty scary stories about people who underestimated the dangers of hiking Death Valley in the summertime.
ReplyDeletePaco, when you're ready to hike in Death Canyon, don't forget to call the Portable Air Conditioning Organization. Might be worth your while.
