Well. Wasn't that special?

Seattle is holding a big rally and parade for the Seahawks. As a result, traffic is beyond nightmarish, and is approaching Los Angeles levels. My normally 45-minute commute would probably have been over three hours, so I'm working from home.

And how are you doing?

[EarlJibbs]

I am fine. Thanks Vort.

And here I thought you were talking about our highly civil and intellectual conversation on a certain other thread today that's already been deleted.

I'm snowed in.

My morning commute included digging out my car at the end of the driveway in order to get to work.

Oh, I would never mention a deleted thread. But if I did, I would probably refer to it only obliquely, perhaps through a Church Lady reference.

I'm enjoying the snow outside. It makes it look like I don't have as much yard work as I have.

It is a cold day here. When it's this cold I'll walk underground even though it's a longer walk. :)

So she dug her car out by proxy?

If I recall correctly she helped with shoveling. My memory is hazy because my first memory of the day was being woken up and told, "The car is stuck at the bottom of the driveway." In other words I was a little bleary eyed at the time. In the end it wasn't the shoveling so much as using salt for traction (I would have used sand but what I had at hand was a bag of salt) that freed the car.

The bottom of the driveway? Your driveway really isn't very long. :)

Nope, it isn't very long, and yet it has a bottom (it also has a top and a middle).

The snow was piled at the bottom of the drive. I tried to gun it from the garage thinking I'll just coast over it--my plan failed. The tires were stuck, then we discovered that the snow was piled under the car keeping it high mounted, then the tires were on ice. Fun, exciting morning.

FYI SeaTac may be close to Seattle...even closer to the airport...but the traffic is fine on this end of the county. :-)

Oh, I see. The snow plows probably dumped a ton on your apron. That's never fun to try to get over.

Being Los Angeles adjacent, all I have to say is... HA!
