It’s been a bit crazy the past couple of days.  I’ve been getting a little cabin fever.  I was able to go out yesterday and do some running around… thank god.  Today I was stuck inside.  Which was probably good because I had some laundry and housework to do before heading back east.
I decided to [...]

I ventured out of the neighborhood today.  And it wasn’t by foot!  It was by car.  Getting out of the neighborhood was a bit tricky.  But once I got to Renton, the roads weren’t too bad.  A few times the ice under the tires made it feel like  I was driving on a cobblestone road.  [...]

I had to walk to Walgreen’s this evening.  It’s about a 3 mile round trip walk.  I took my camera along and took a few shots. Walgreens is on the corner of Rainier and Genesee, which is a busy intersection.  Rainier takes you north to the First Hill neighborhood.  It eventually turns into Boren which [...]

Here you go…

So took a few more pictures a few minutes ago.  It’s still snowing.  Kink has been whining all morning.  So I decided I would let them go out and play in the snow.  As soon as I opened the door, Jimbo sniffed at the air, and turned around and laid down on the couch.  Kink [...]

We’ve been having a lot of storms recently and it’s been just a mess to try and get to work.  We’re not used to snow and ice here.  Our typical winter weather is about 40 degrees, grey skies and rain in some form.  It’s rare that we get snow.  Maybe one day a year.  But [...]

For the love of all that is holy!  According to Weather.com we are suppose to have snow all day tomorrow.  How much of it sticks to the ground, who knows.  But I have to say, I am tired of wearing two pairs of socks, running tights, jeans, a long sleeve shirt, two polar fleece tops, [...]

Last night, around 11 or so, I took a look outside and saw this it was snowing!
When I got up this morning, I decided to walk over to the store and grab the paper and a bagel.  It was so slick out.  The roads and the sidewalks were one big sheet of ice.  Fortunately I [...]

I got up and did the usual routine.  Then I headed over to get my haircut and then it was on to work.  Fortunately for me, my co-worker was there so it made it a bit more fun.  Granted we didn’t stay for too long as it was freezing.  No matter how high we turn [...]
