Rant #3,893: Dig the Foundations

Eek!

Now, we have to dig out from under this mess.

We must have gotten about two feet of snow, and yesterday, it was cooler than predicted--it was around freezing--so a lot if the snow froze overnight.

It got so bad in my neck of the woods that a snow plow got stuck in the middle of the street here, and it took well over an hour or two to get the truck off the ice and moving.

And being that this is a 55-and-older community, people aren't that quick in cleaning off their cars, so this area is really at a standstill.

My wife and I looked out the window a couple of times, and while we saw the snow plow trying to move out of his winter quicksand, there was really absolutely no one out at all.

Just a day to watch TV, sleep late or go onto the computer--

The latter if which i did, because I had plenty of work to do.

Again, the beauty of my job is that i don't have to venture anywhere to do what I need to do--

It is all there online.

My son was supposed to have a dental appointment on Monday morning, but, of course, that was deep sixed because of the snow.

I did try to call the office a few times about this, but no one was there, so I left a message.

I am really surprised that someone did not work from home to contact those with appointments and make new ones, but no one did.

In fact, I received an automated message that my son had an appointment on Monday, but that was that.

So, hopefully, I can get him another appointment.

Funny, but over the weekend, I didn't have much to do, so I watched a couple of baseball spring training games--

Where the weather was at least in the 70s or 80s, and the thought of snow for those attending these games wasn't even part of the equation.

As I have often said, once baseball begins, hope springs eternal, and even with several inches of snow on the ground, we just know the warmer weather is coming.

That being said, we really have gotten pummeled this winter, with one snow storm after another slapping us around.

And I just learned that we have more snow coming this week, not as bad as the last one, but bad enough.

But back to baseball ...

The warmer days are coming, as the proverbial "Boys of Summer" are getting their strokes in there as the snowflakes hit us here.

The end is near ...

We just have to be patient.

And this winter ...

We have to be VERY patient.
