It doesn’t snow in the Pacific Northwest too often–the Pacific Ocean keeps things too warm to do anything but rain The city’s infrastructure is apparently not set up to deal with this, as roads were shut down, the transit system was defunct, and the snow plows and sanding trucks were nowhere to be seen. The snow has a peculiar reaction on residents here
(Hey, it was a slow year.) Did you keep your New Years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Did anyone close to you give birth? Did anyone close to you die? What countries did you visit? What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Spring and summer brought about his hibernation, you see, and it took a couple months for him to begin to become active in the evening.

I’m angsting a bit (a bit?) about the car, I’ve taken it as a personal affront, and only now am I realizing how much I wanted/needed it, for the good of the household and heightening the prospects of me finding employment with it Yeah, there are other cars, and after a time, we could probably fix this one up, but we need a car NOW, and we need a car that works
The National Weather Service made some mumble about snow the other week, and I was strangely rather looking forward to the measily inch or so it was forecasting Because I’ve been jonesing for the stuff, I thought I would wax moronic about one of my favorite things to do when there’s more than a foot of snow on the ground: sledding
