We were going to run out just to Walmart because it was the closest to
get cat food. (squirrels and raccoons pigged out - ) We got in the
truck and it started to seriously snow. We looked at it for a couple
of minutes and just went back inside. Getting out of here is a PITA
because there is a slight incline up to a stop sign then immediately
left and downhill with a stop at the bottom. Just didn't want to
mingle with other drivers and kiss paint. Snowed hard all day and
just finished shoveling. Maybe tomorrow . . .
