Hunkered Down

Reluctantly I swept four inches of snow off the van, chipped the ice off the windows and froze my hands yesterday to make a trip for supplies. I had purposely run down things before the Oregon trip. When we pulled into Wal-Mart I noticed a couple of cop cars and an ambulance. Just inside the entrance there was a snow suited woman face down having a big boo-hoo while the EMT's tried to strap her to a gurney and the policemen looked useless. "Weather related breakdown," I thought. I understand completely.

The Lost Symbol is finished-some very interesting ideas in that book-I recommend it. I included another book in my provisions. A Kellerman: True Detectives. I planned to get through Tuesday when there promises to be a break in the freezing temperatures and snow.

Today I made a pot of Sinaloan Wedding Soup which is indistinguishable from Chili. I had a book and I was hoping that one of the two working TV channels would carry the Broncos/New England game. Yay Broncos! 5 and 0. Very Enjoyable. Chili, grilled cheese sandwich, football, and a good book. Life is good-within four walls. I can hold out until Tuesday. I miss being outdoors.
