In which timing is everything
Monday, January 18th, 2010 06:56 pmSo, to work, despite the Winter Weather Advisory that would have had me travel only in emergency, which I'm sure was kindly met, but a thought overstated. The final call was for six to ten inches of new snow, which may have fallen over other parts of Maine, but not in this particular section in the so-called center.
Arrived home as the snowfall tapered into an occasional ice pellet, pulled into the driveway, got out of my car, and said to myself, "Self, you had best clean off Steve's car, so that when the plowguy cometh, you'll be able to move both vehicles."
This turned out to be brilliant. In fact, I had Steve's car almost completely de-snowed when who should show up but said plowguy. I moved both cars out onto the road; he did his thing, I tucked the vehicles back where they belonged and heya! no sitting with boots nearby, listening for the Phantom Beep in the twilight.
Just as well, as I have a headache and am slightly feverish. I did manage about 450 words tonight, but it was, as my grandfather used to say, like pulling hen's teeth.
