Things are supposed to improve by Saturday - YAY motorcycle show! It was freezing when I took the photo, but I was inspired by your sand footprint photo! Have a fancy umbrella drink by the pool and enjoy the sunsets. It is snowing here as I write this. I get to take the car tomorrow, a friend is letting me park at her place. <br /><br />Mahalo <br />DarDar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-81682365681614825062012-01-16T23:17:18.534-08:002012-01-16T23:17:18.534-08:00Dar:

I sat beside a nice lady & we chatted. So all in all my 'bus' experience was pretty good. I just get a little anxious of the unknown, ironic because I scoot commute & motorcycle. Weather forecasters are calling for more of the white stuff over the next few days & then we enter the rain bubble again, which crazily enough I am comfortable travelling in. Who knew I would like riding in the rain.<br /><br />Irondad - BTW way I did get the 2 left feet reference - I forgot to put it in my original reply because I was cooking dinner & reading blog comments - almost burned the gravy!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-8154395027952637272012-01-16T17:52:42.810-08:002012-01-16T17:52:42.810-08:00How did things go?

This amount of snow is enough to shut everything down around here.<br /><br />Luckily it is a MLK Day here so the Court is closed, banks and schools and closed and there shouldn't be as many people on the roads.<br /><br />We woke to 22˚F this morning so I don't think it is going to melt today and more white stuff is forecast.

There are just too many things that can go wrong on a good day, adding snow to the equation is a disaster waiting to happen.
