It snowed all day, yesterday, giving us the biggest accumulation so far this winter--nearly 8 inches! Quite a bit for these parts. It's tough to get anything done, when I'm constantly running around to all the windows exclaiming how beautiful it is and making a running photo essay, as if it's the cover article for the National Geographic.
But, there are consequences.
It's just after noon, today, and our power/phone/internet has just been restored...again. It lasted less than 24 hours, this time, and we rated a line in the paper about 320 PG&E customers without service. Only 320? And we were one of them? I'd like to encourage PG&E to distribute those blackouts a little more equally throughout the region. Share the candle-lit adventure. Please. 
(We were briefly without mail, too, until Tom could pick up the Post Office-Recommended non-oil-based, non-graphite-based lubricant on his way back from the internet cafe, this afternoon. The lock was stuck for a couple of days.)
So, here we are, with all the modern conveniences, once again! And here are the inevitable snow shots, including the Sube, Tom cleaning the Sube off to go to the internet cafe, Sube tracks, more Sube tracks, and a snow bomb ready to fall by the front door.
Yesterday, I mentioned a cool link forwarded to me by my friend, Lisa Ferris. I tracked down the artist's name as Peter Callesen. Really. You have to see these. They were all cut from a single sheet of paper. He does interesting large stuff, too (click on "home" to see the options), but I was blown away by these. Check them out NOW!
