Ice, ice everywhere

   I got stuck in the driveway today. Luckily it wasn't on my way to work this morning, but rather as I was coming home. Thankfully my knight in shining armor came out to rescue me. I bought 100 lbs. of rack salt for the driveway. I'm not sure how much good it will do, but we tried. We had all this snow yesterday, and then overnight Mother Nature decided to send us some rain. And then it got cold again. So there's ice everywhere. We lost part of a tree in the front yard which is very sad. I hate to see old trees coming down.
   It was kinda slow this morning at work - I think many people had the good sense to stay home until the snow plows went through a few times. Of course as they day went on people came out in droves. Watercolour Boy says that there should be a term called "shopping rage." I agree whole-heartedly. People are buying anything and everything, even if it's not really what they wanted.
   I'm sipping a lovely glass of White Catawba wine. It's from somewhere around Lake Erie, and it's very sweet. Kinda like liquid candy. Being that I need to be asleep in bed soon, I thought it might help. Only one more day until it's over - at least that's what everyone says. But really, they're all wrong. Because you know what comes after X-mas? Holiday clearance...
