More semi-coagulated wet stuff on the ground -- maybe ice underneath. Be careful on the roads.

From School Report.org:


Olympia SD -- Two hours late start. No AM Pre School or Kindergarten. Buses operating on snow routes. High school early release canceled.

Going to Brave it Today

I can't deprive Loba of such a wonderful winter adventure! Keep a sled dog inside when it's snowing outside? Cruel and unusual punishment.

Wish me luck. I would prefer to walk slowly o'er the ice and snow, as opposed to Loba pulling me like I'm on skis, but she has her own opinions and sometimes drags me along for the ride.

Believe it or not I'm not

Believe it or not I'm not always about conflict and reaction.

When I think of slushies I think of slurpies and chilly willys and Mr. Mistys, ice pellets and sugary flavored syrup.

We've all heard of blue raspberry, which doesn't exist in real life. Is there any food that's naturally blue? (Blueberries are purple)

Endorsing Obama

Now that my guy Edwards is out of the race :( I am now an Obama supporter. Read the Kennedy endorsement and watch some inspiring video here. Looking forward to the caucuses. It's fun seeing all the folks out and excited about politics even if it's just once every four years.

Here, Here

I'm really disappointed in Billary and their politics.  It's time for Obama to reach out to Edwards if he hasn't done so already.  I sure did enjoy John's exit speech today.
