A White Christmas Perhaps?

Got the tree decorated today and the snow started falling tonight. A sign, perhaps?

And a word about the tree - it's nearly nine feet tall and Diane got it for $20 at Save Mart. (And thanks again to the bag boy who helped her hoist it onto her roof and tie it down - you did a nice thing, Sir.)

My car will get its first test in the snow tomorrow (or at least its first test with me behind the wheel.) I figure the Germans should ought to build a car that can handle snow, since they get a fair amount. I've got Z-chains to fit it and two bags of rocks to give the back some weight and bite. I should be fine. There's a story over at Everything's Shiny for those who like their car news served separately.

For the Christmas crew coming here - we'll ferry any and all who don't have four-wheel drive or chains from dry land in the SUV. It's too pretty to miss and we're comfortable with the driving.

Dogs like snow.

Happy Christmas tree and Happy Snow! We are also having our first snow. It's supposed to be on and off during the day, but pick up over night. If it does that, there's a good day we'll get a snow day off from work!

On unrelated news (in other words, it has nothing to do with snow) Dave has been offered a job at the local community college. He'll meet with them on Monday to find out more (they had a variety of openings in the exercise science dept). He'll add this to his current job and keep busy until he can apply and hear back from school.

Enjoy the snow! Hopefully we get lots too!

Nice tree, nice snow, nice dogs, nice Russian hat, but I liked the old Davey just fine!
