BLIZZARD !!!

it's snowing like your mother.
and a half.

i've just had among the most harrowing 8 mile, 40 minute drives of my life.
4WD almost all the way, and not above about 17 miles an hour.

of course the lazy fuck snowplow drivers aren't out yet.
they're at home drinking hot toddies.


UUUuugh!
harebell and her mother just decided to drive from Longmont to Pinewood Springs rather than stay at emmanate's house as i implored them to.
stubborn women!
now i'm going to be awake until midnight waiting for them to call.
stubborn, stubborn women.

i am very disappointed and worried now.

caught

i just caught a rather confused and bitter looking yellowjacket flying distraughtly into a lightbulb again and again.

she now sits in my wardrobe.
she's discreet.
she's perfectly preserved.

not really,
it actually sits in my bugjar,
and will be released to the outside tomorrow morning, if the sun melts off all this snow early enough, which i presume it will.

i do not kill living things that happen to wander into "my" living space.
