If it’s Monday, and I’m flashback posting after a federal holiday closed the library, it’s recap day.
I experienced my first major snowstorm in Wyoming. It would have been a blizzard by Missouri standards, but around here it was merely a severe snow storm. This is know for a fact; when the paper did the paper did the standard “weather story” I made sure the reporter asked the weather service what it took to be a blizzard. Apparently, to meteorologists, it’s a technical term that has specific requirements that must be met before it is used (like hurricane or tornado). We didn’t reach the sustained standards, so no blizzard… just a severe snowstorm.
Last Monday, February 13, I address a recent sporadic posting and catch up on unsummarized entries.
On Valentine’s Day I beginning posting what is a be a multi-part entry on the exploits and misadventures I experienced at my church’s Valentine’s Dinner.
Wednesday, when I start having trouble reaching out and touching people, I warn readers that my cell phone is on the fritz. If it is due to the mounting snowstorm (which dumps about three inches just during the time I am in the library) or the tumble I took on the ice the night before, I can’t say… Well I can say, but apparently people can’t hear me.
Thursday I continue the narrative of the Valentine’s dinner and introduce a musical conundrum: what do you do when an elderly couple steals the song you were planning to perform?
Friday I lament the approaching string of federal holidays that will interrupt my posting, but then what can you do… besides break into the library, which is largely frowned upon.
To come: Snow, quote logs, and other miscellanea.
