Slushy Thursday

What's worse than snow? Sleet and freezing rain. What's not quite so bad, but still yukky? Slush. When it snows, then the weather gets warmer, it rains. Rain on top of snow makes slush. It's slippery to drive through, and extremely heavy to push around, but it looks super yukky.  We didn't get snow yesterday, but we got a lot of rain.

When will the snow melt? I dunno, but the weather guys say it is supposed to be above freezing every day for the next six days. They are often wrong, but you never know!

Mom has been tippy tapping up a storm!!! She is almost finished the thing she calls "first draft" and she really wants to get it done. There is a lot of stuff she wants to do.  I keep telling her she has to add the list of dates for the When When Contest entries and she -assures me- it will happen very soon.

I shall be patient.

In the meantime, Max wrote an autobiography!!! I am so furry excited. Mom bought it for her Kindle and we have been reading it together. Oh Max! I am enjoying it so much!

The Idjit

Mom was pretty upset yesterday with the idjit upstairs. He decided that two inches of slush needed to be snowblowed out of the driveway at ten minutes to seven on Saturday morning, when the temperature was supposed to get up into the forties later.

Let me tell you about two inches of slush.  No snowblower can throw it anywhere. It's heavy as wet beach sand.  Trying to snow blow it means the snowblower works really hard and makes a terrible noisy sound.  This particular snowblower is pretty wimpy, and doesn't throw real snow more than a foot away. Mom thinks it's pretty useless. She says shoveling it to one side would have been faster and left the driveway cleaner.  Not only that, the idjit didn't even do the whole driveway. And he didn't do any part of the parking lot out back.

Sure enough, after the bozo woke Mom up from a deep sleep (on a day she could sleep late), the weather got warmer and the slush melted on its own. In fact, it was gone by lunchtime. (It had melted away in the parking lot too!)

What was funnier (!!!) was the upstairs idjit never went anywhere until AFTER the slush melted.
