Someone asked me this morning when is the snow ever going to stop. I guessed about April 18. We seem to be caught in some hideous cold air, snow, wind tunnel and there’s no escape.
Got a handy little gizmo on my IPhone called Hum and it helps me keep track of what’s going on with my car. Danged if this little rascal, at 2:00 in the morning, didn’t let me know that there’s a good chance my car battery won’t start. Not any way in the world was I getting up in the dark, dead of night, below zero temperatures, bundling up and wading through the snow up the hill to that garage is located. Now I have a tiny – and I do mean a tiny – garage here at this townhouse and my car is pulled into it, head first, and if it won’t start, I have no idea of who anyone or anything is going to be able to get in there and charge it. I have tons of errands to do today and so this is already promising to be a dandy, fun little morning.
Have I told you lately how much I hate winter?
