Why is Your Snowman Square?

Today was a good day.

Here in North Carolina, we received approximately five to seven inches of snow overnight. While nothing to get frantic over (it's just snow), I always welcome a heavy dose of the cold white stuff.

Needless to say, Crystal and I made no waste of the frozen precipitation. After debating what to make with the snow (a snow man was too predictable), we went with a Rubix cube.

Which then morphed into just a standard box for sitting on.

Upon which, Crystal crushed it with tremendous force. She was most harsh in her unrelenting destruction.

As I said, today was a good day. Ice Cube would approve.

On the new Jeep front, it handled quit well pulling out of my driveway. Unfortunately, the local road crews had plowed the snow off the roads quickly, so I couldn't take the new wheels out for some donuts. Alas, that must wait for another day.

What Not to Do in a Snow Storm.

I have to be honest with you -- as I type this article, I've had a few adult beverages. I feel FANTASTIC! Wine sure is great, isn't it?

Tonight's article is about what you SHOULDN'T do when you're faced with a possible snow storm.

Here's what you shouldn't do:

Don't buy a bunch of food which requires refrigeration. Guess what? When your power goes out, all the stuff in your fridge will spoil. Buying up a a bunch of milk, eggs, frozen pizza, frozen burritos and the like is a waste of money. If you really feel compelled to stock up on food, purchase non-perishable goods like tuna fish, crackers, dry cereal, oatmeal, rice, beans and canned mackerel.

Mmmmmm.... canned mackerel.

Don't waste time driving to see your boo. Your boo isn't important. Stay off the road if the snow is just too much for you to handle. If your boo loves you, they will wait. Otherwise, drop your boo like a bad habit and find a new boo.

Don't freak out. Snow is just rain you can pick up. It's not amazing... it's just nature's dandruff. You'll survive.

Don't crowd the grocery store. You probably need a bath because you're a poor piece of human trash. No one wants to smell your funk.

Don't crash your vehicle. The snow isn't difficult to drive in. Drop your transmission into low gear, put down your cell phone and pay attention. After a while, you'll learn that driving in the snow is actually fun!

There's my tips for surviving a snow storm. It's not difficult. You can do it!

I've got to go now. I need to finish a bottle of wine. Toodles!
