Mrs. Racer and I have been doing so for over 19 years now.

To start we'd have believe in sin to live in it , and being atheists that may be a stretch, but we did get married after a little over 4 years....at city hall. It's about commitment (or maybe she should have been committed for thinking I was a good choice

) and of course the law at least 32 years ago viewed marriage differently than common law. Thankfully that has changed

I think your storm is predicted to cross my area next week, but greatly diminished. Hope the snow you got today is nice and fluffy like ours. Even the stuff mounded up by the snow plows was light and easy for the blower, not at all compacted in nasty hard chunks.

I'm starting to get envious, not that I want to get buried but I like at least one really big storm a year it's fun to have a snow day and just go out with the dog and take pictures

I was planning on doing a skate ski today but... it's kind of hard with a foot of snow on the trails... they're not grooming until the storm is over.

I could live another 1,000 years without a "snow day". So could Otis, and I hope he sees to it that we never have another one!

Sure, he might have looked poised and happy with 1/8 inch of snow in Dec of 2015, but inside he was madder than hell and cussing like a rabid sailor.

Regards!

Oh come on now. On the rare occasion you do get a little snow, what doesn't evaporate before it hits the ground probably turns to steam in a matter of a minute or two.

About 5 miles South of La Grande, Oregon, on Interstate 84 is a steep grade. To keep it clear in the winter there are loops embedded in the concrete to warm it just enough so it doesn't ice up.

Trouble is, it is part of about 150 miles of twisty, steep grades that run from Pendleton to Ontario. Plenty of steep grades that have to be kept clear and safe to drive on.

Nothing that sophisticated here. Just rely on the effect of engine warmth and tyre friction.

When I look out the window I will see the state of affairs here. Wet, or worse.

Otis thinks that is funny!

I tried to call you yesterday....no answer, just a recording that said....."No one is available to take your call at this time, if you'd like to leave a Rupert Story, please hang up and try again in August."

Regards!

BTW- I am mailing you the last of the lovely baby girls gifts....gifts you should have given, but let Donna handle.

I guess it was back ordered and then they sent it to my address mistakenly?

It is so lovely, her very first Little Black Dress.......every girl needs one!

Crummy picture, I didn't want to take it out of the sealed package, but it is gorgeous!

But it looks like you've been stripped of your likes, so I'll give you one.
