Journal: Day one of the Blizzard of 2009

[TK421]

9:45 A.M- I can't get out my front door because of a large snow-drift blocking the way...provisions are low here, and we're out of milk,bread, and eggs...don't know how much longer we will be able to survive..........



I'm drinking my own urine

[rurallib]

1. How's the beer supply?

[TK421]

3. two Budweisers in the fridge, that is all

hence me drinking my own urine

[rurallib]

9. put on the mukluks and hitch up the dog sled. This here is an emergency.

[TK421]

10. if I get really screwed, there is always this guy

[meow2u3]

14. I had one of those---30 years ago!

I miss my Homer. He literally saved my life back in New York.

[Roon]

16. He has medicinal rum around his neck

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Uh-huh, sure you are...

:eyes:






:rofl: :rofl:



Good morning, my dear TK421!

[TK421]

4. Good morning Peggy! I wish I could take a picture of this

It doesn't look that bad out, actually....and this is all supposed to end tomorrow. :hi:

5. I'll snap a photo as soon as my camera battery charges.

I haven't touched my camera since my return from Turkey back in September. Shame on me. But it's pretty deep out there. I guess I'll be off the bike and hoofing it until there's a melt.

[TK421]

7. Yeah..you really can't bike in this. I just heard they're calling for whiteout conditions

by this afternoon ( this area, anyway )

[bikebloke]

8. Out the front door of my building.

This is in Arlington, Va. I'm about to venture out and trek up to the library. Yeah, it's closed but I'll drop some books off, then do my Saturday grocery run up there. What's left of last week's loaf of bread has turned mouldy. I'll probably take the train back, if they're running. If I'm not back in a few hours, then unleash the Saint Bernards. :)

12. Metro is shutting above ground at 1 pm

Hurry!

[Texasgal]

15. Oh MYYY!!!

How beautiful!!!

I wouldn't know how to act there! I'm sooooo jealous.

[arcadian]

21. The world or the blizzard?

better check Rapture Ready. Gargoyles! Dark-sided!

[meow2u3]

6. I tried to go to the SPCA to do my volunteer work

but had to turn back because I got stuck up a hill. Had to back up and turn back home. I might as well wait until tomorrow or even Wednesday to do my deeds for teh kittehs.

[TK421]

11. Read a book...take it easy for now. If what they're forecasting is correct

we won't be moving around anytime soon ;)

sorry about the kittehs!!

[cynatnite]

13. You have intertube access...quit yur bitchin'. n/t

[huskerlaw]

17. You could melt the snow and drink that...

ya know. Unless you...like...drinking your own urine. In which case, carry on.

;)

[TK421]

18. ummmm....could have used that info much earlier!!!!

:spray:

[Gormy Cuss]

19. Either way it's good...

Drinking that melted snow will produce MORE urine after all.
:P

[Ikonoklast]

20. Ask a neighbor to come over for dinner.

Tell him you are serving "Donner Surprise."

[bikebloke]

22. I'm back from my arctic trek.

With Yaktrax on my shoes, I didn't slip and slide so much and made good time. A few eejits were trying to drive out on the roads. Behemoth SUV's stuck in the snow brought on some gloating. Usually in this area, when it snows it's rather friendly. Almost festive with people trudging out in the middle of the streets. Not any more. Especially the rich snot-nosed Georgetown students bunking over here in Arlington. With narrow walk ways, they expect everyone else to give way. Don't worry, we friendly people took care of them, and they won't be found until the snow melts in the Spring. :evilgrin:

The grocery store was near empty so I got my bread for the week.

And I took the train back, as my stop was before the line ran outside into the elements. And that bit is closed.
