It’s been a seriously long time since the last weblog entry. Time flies.

SDK was visiting from Nashville, but she will be leaving today.
It snowed last night. Not all that much, but combined with the wind and cold the roads iced up and obviously cased a big mess.

Amanda had gone down to the aquarium yesterday afternoon with the Kai, and I meant to join them for dinner since Seattle University closed down for the evening, but I bailed before getting to the waterfront and then managed to get stuck going up the hill on Alaska near the library. Traction control on the Prius is problematic sometimes as it cuts power when it senses the wheels slipping which does not let you effectively rock out of some situations. I had to wait a bit since I was surround by cars and I did not wish to hit anything. Eventually things cleared enough that I spun the car around by bouncing backwards off of the curb and reversed directions down the hill. I managed to turn back on Rainier before a big truck that had spun out behind me and was doing 360s down the hill as it careened towards me. A wasted trip since I was on the road for almost two hours.

Sunny now though. I shoveled the back driveway (with the neighbor) and the front stairs and sidewalks. A lot of shoveling. Who would have thought I’d be doing it in the PNW?
