BLIZZARD

... not just a Dairy Queen dessert!

I just took of my boots after a 45 minute spontaneous service activity in my apartment parking lot. The snow is piling up in drifts and most of my neighbors, bless their hearts, have bald tires on their cars. This makes it impossible to drive through the 8 inches of snow (so far) that has mired the parking lot. On one car in particular, it took 4 of us - 2 African American young men cussing up a storm, a mechanic with the drawl of a gangster, and me (guess which one of these doesn't belong!) - to get it up our sloped exit and out into the equally formidable street. It's been a great way to meet my neighbors, even if all parties involved would rather be inside. :)

As it may be difficult to make it to campus tomorrow, I've brought plenty of work home to keep me from getting bored or otherwise not working.
