The Blizzard of '08
Even before 3 inches had fallen, it was the dubbed The Blizzard of '08. Amazingly, my company let us have early dismissal. But not the schools for some bizarre reason. We woke up this morning to a foot of snow. Okay, fine. Blizzard, it is. Also, we woke up to out mailbox sheered off its perch by a plow. I propped it up in the snow bank. Maybe the postman can get to it. This is the third time since we've moved in here that the mailbox has been plowed.

The kids and I managed to get half the driveway shoveled. That is to say, the kids built snow igloos in the piles of snow I removed from the driveway. Poor Graham was shorter than the drifts. Claire stayed inside.

Clearly the gods are punishing Ohio for giving our electoral votes to the wrong person.

OMG. We keep losing our mailbox to the plow, too.

We propped the box on the snow, too. The postperson was very agreeable about just putting the letters in there, even as it got shorter... and shorter...

A call to the township and - tada! - we have a new mailbox.

The snow is entirely gone too.

I've no doubt our electoral votes were wasted...

However, I've contention with the notion, "Amazingly, my company let us have early dismissal. But not the schools for some bizarre reason. "

This "blizzard of '08" wasn't a blizzard to those of us who have actually experienced thus.

friggin woosies.

i suppose it's a good thing the educational facilities were more up on the reality than the capitalistic of us.

hope Cinci is grand and i profit from the same.

Free goodies were rare here. Your profit margin will be low.
