10102 – Monday

BHK and I went on a little walkabout to pick up the mail and stretch our legs – hit the boardwalk where someone put together a nifty, albeit a bootylicious snowman – snow was piled up from the plows in the back area parking lot to about 8-10 feet.

Walkies were fun, though I was more than a little sore afterward. Some stretching and a heating pad is putting me right.

Chris & Mandy came over for some supper – Taco salad (real meat for them, pseudo-meat for BHK and me) It was tasty, but poor Chris was knocked out from his weekend of meteorology – and he’s likely going back to DC tomorrow for a few days at a hotel – expecting 10 to 25 inches feet more of snow tomorrow afternoon into the evening.

BHK looks like she’s going to hit the sack early, and I think I’ll join her, once I’m sure the phones are charged and the doors are locked, although, it’s very unlikely anyone’s coming in through the back door – there’s still a couple of feet of snow on the deck.

Amy got a DS, though her sister is apparently fond of making off with it- I want to set her and BHK both up with Acekard2 and a good collection of homebrew software.

Icicles and Pye wants to play in the snow some more.

Nice Doctor Blasphemy reference in the riddler opening of Brave & the bold. “a bat divided” – Firestorm and a Triplicate Batman made for a fun twist, too.


Ugh – no wonder my journal page at scottobear.com isn’t working

10,098 – Saturday

As you can see by the pile o’ previous pix, it’s been snowing, dear journal. Supposedly a storm of epic proportions, 2012 come early, the great white wall o’doom.

First time in 30 years that the post office hasn’t delivered mail (from here to DC anyhow).

For my own future swift access –

Eh, This is downright pleasant compared to a hurricane. Sure, the snow is two feet deep at the non-drifted points (as tall as me at the high end) – but we still have power and heat. BHK has shoveled a tunnel over to the Naille’s next door – I’m opting to stay inside with a pair of sweats on, and a couple of kitties to keep me warm while I type.

I’ve caught up my journal from the last couple of days, some are shorter than others, but at least I have the logs in place.

100,093 – Friday

snow is estimated to go to a possible 33 inches, before drifts. It’s already coming down at a good clip – enough to limit tv watching, since access to the directv dish and internet are both fuzzy at best.

Our trip to watch seldom scene is canceled for tonight – just as well – I’d rather eat hot pockets than food at the Westlawn, even though I really dig Seldom Scene.

Well, we finally went to see Avatar 3-D. I liked Sherlock Holmes more. I think that bhk said it best – like watching a moving black light poster… with less story. Still, it was very pretty.
