Winter Solstice Eve Full Winter Solstice Moon
Ode has the meeting tonight, a meeting brushed with snow that left 100 inches of powder in the Rockies. Jon skied in knee deep powder on Saturday. I’ll drive in 4-6 inches, not as remarkable, but, consider that we have roads and driveways added to temperature that will keep all this snow with us most likely until March. Kate says there is a truck-type, looks like a dump truck, filled with bobcats or skip-loaders. It melts the snow then pushes it out into holding ponds. Makes sense to somebody, I guess.
This is a leave the red car at home driving event. Until the driveway’s been plowed and grit laid down tomorrow morning I’m not moving that little front-drive car anywhere. Though I will have to take it out for a meeting in Minneapolis at 11:30, lunch at Matt’s, home of the juicy lucy. A juicy lucy, for those of you not familiar with it, is a cheeseburger with the cheese inside two burger patties. It comes with a coupon for two visits to the cardiologist of your choice.
The dogs can go in the orchard for the winter. I opened it this morning since there is nothing for them to dig out except bunny rabbits and mice. That they can do to their heart’s content.
The Vikings game tonight will make travel near the U really, really bad. Even though I’m off football now, I can see the irony in a cold-weather team playing their first game outside since the metropolitan stadium closed, exactly 50 years ago tonight. Not only that, an untried Southern rookie will start the game tonight. Hey, it doesn’t get a weirder than that.
