1) The term April Showers was meant for RAIN, light rain, to bring May flowers. NOT one snow storm after another. Rain, snow, and sleet, with sun mixed in yesterday. Today - the snow was 6 to 8" when I got up this morning and it snowed for another 4 hours or more. Can't see the driveway, let alone drive on it, again and chains are required 3/4 of the way down to the city this morning. The high is expected to be in the upper 30's today!
2) There went the power - again! Okay, only about an hour this time, no biggie, but who knew for how long and why didn't we keep the generators at the ready? Oh Yeah, IT'S APRIL!
3) And why is it that while the snow was plummeting to the earth, the satellite dish was fine. After it quit and the skies were clear, the dish went out. Dish & Direct are just about anything except what they claim to be. But since there's no alternative ...
4) The topper to all this is: I called the Women's Medical Center in Clovis this morning to cancel my appointment since I can't get out of my own yard much less down the mountain to the city. I explained the weather situation and she said, "I'll make a note and maybe they won't charge you as a no show." The policy is a 24 hour notice or you pay the full office visit fee." For their sake, I truly hope they have a modicum of common sense. This could get ugly.
5) And last, but certainly not least, the fat egos that are supposed to be representing the people of this country but instead are holding it hostage, really have my ire. I'm not personally affected by the pending shutdown so it isn't about me, it's what they're doing to the country we hired them to take care of. And it really gets me that millions of federal employees and others are going to lose financially, including our 'troops' and their families, but the millions of dollars that the senate, congress, & president accept in paychecks is "constitutionally protected". Can you say amendment? Forget the so called Tea Party; here's another place for common sense.
