Didn't receive any mail to day, or the mailman didn't want to slog to the box. I knew that could happen but I flat didn't want to do it this morning. Monday will be time enough. This morning the baking bug bit and I really had a good time. Let the mail wait. They won't send you a notice around here before the carrier's been blocked for at least a week. And then he still has to stomp up to the mailbox. I'm going to play the age card here.

But I love snow and in particular during that season, linemen and guys with plows.
