i don't usually like wearing wool. except for very cold days. unless i need the wool for warmth it itches me like crazy. the last 3 days i've worn sweaters, and when i put them on i wondered if it was such a good idea. but once i got out of my sauna of an apartment and into the cold outdoors then into my chilly office i didn't feel the itch at all.
b and i have managed to avoid shoveling the driveway this season because of our 4-wheel-drive small suv. until this morning we had this massive mound of snow and ice at the end of our driveway that we'd sometimes get "stuck" on in the car (stuck like a fat cow jumping over the moon - slow but still succeeding). but just as i predicted the snow sucking machine came by early early this morning and cleared the whole bank away. if you've never seen this mythical snow machine let me describe it to you... it's like a really massive wood chipper combined with a vacuum cleaner. it sucks the snow up and then spits it out at the top into the back of a dumptruck. it is quite the sight to behold. it's usually a six truck endeavor. i can think of 2 or 3 little boys who would be on cloud-nine if they saw the whole thing in action.

sometimes i'm right, but i can be wrong.

I am so Jealous that the snow sucking machine came by your place!!! I have been waiting and waiting, but the weather is supposed to be in the plus range later in the week, so now I am hoping for melting instead of the snow-sucking machine.
My computer was broken and I haven't been reading blogs for a while, so just catching up now :)
