So those who care about such things will have heard that last week, about 4 days before Christmas, there was a huge blizzard in Colorado. Closed the Denver airport for a couple days, made a mess of people's travel. Fortunately, we were still a few days from travel, and things straightened themselves out more or less before we had to travel.

Fast forward a week, and whammo! another storm.

Toxicfur digging out the rented car.

It started coming down yesterday morning, canceling dinner plans with a friend. As of this morning it's about 16" deep here at my folk's house. We managed to dig the car out before my dad's friend with the blade on his pickup came for the 2nd time and cleared the driveway. I waited in the street with the car while he plowed the drive, and wondered if the little Mazda 3 would make it up the hill again in the snow.

Hope things get saner before we fly out Sunday morning. We're thinking of getting a hotel closer to the airport for Saturday night, so there's less traveling to do in the morning. Hm. I wonder who has free wifi... Or if there are any rooms to be had, given the weather problems.

New camera is much fun.

Mom went in and got a cast on her foot, and rented a small wheelchair, which works better on the carpet than the secretary chair she was using before. It's gonna be a long 6 weeks for her.

Did I mention that it's still snowing?
