Snow Day
Actually, for the first time in many years, the schools closed for the day (Wednesday). Anyhow, here are the rest of the snow pictures that I took. We had roughly 7+ inches on the ground and when I went out to shovel it (we don't have a snow blower, since it is rare we get this much snow at one time), I quickly discovered that it was a wet, slushy-type of snow; that means more work. Heavy work. Not a good thing, especially for someone lazy like me.
Well, as I said, when I went outside to shovel, I saw out neighbor already shoveling our section of the frontage road. When I got closer, I saw why: he couldn't get his truck onto it. So, the fun began. Together, we were able to shovel to his house and then onto ours. In the process, I helped dig his wife's car out of the snow and he kindly dug a path up our driveway to our garage. In all, it took a total of just over three hours (including breaks) to finish (with an hour and a half just for our driveway). Oh, and so I can have an excuse to include a shameless plug, if you have not seen the photos from the previous evening, you can see them here in the post titled, Let it Snow...Let it Snow...Let it Snow Now, onto the show...
The next day...

Let it Snow...Let it Snow...Let it Snow...
I figured that I would bore you with some photos taken during our latest snow storm. Enjoy...
These are the little trash cans we use to store the bird and squirrel food. This was taken at around 10:00 pm last night...

A Halloween Scare
My sister dug this photo up from somewhere, so I figured that since Halloween is just around the corner, I would give you a big scare...
Yep, that's me, many years ago, as a cub scout. Pretty scary, huh?

A Visit from Rocky Raccoon
Last night, we had an unexpected visitor come to our backyard and dine from our squirrel feeder...
Sorry about the quality of the photos, but in order to even be able to see him, we had to have a long exposure (almost 2 minutes. Yes, we have a cheap camera) on each picture. Since it was such a long exposure and Rocky (yes, I named him Rocky. Catchy, huh?) did not cooperate in remaining still, they are kinda fuzzy.

Yes, Virginia, There are Dragons
Here is an Asian food market in Beaverton, Oregon where my wife's aunt does a lot of shopping. While my family was there, she took them on a little shopping trip...

Working with a Skeleton Crew
I've been having s lot of problems lately trying to come up with something meaningful to write. Obviously, I have yet to achieve that most desired of goals. So, I have decided to share a picture with all of you:
My wife found this in a display window in front of a shoe repair store in Portland.

High-Rise Window Washers
While waiting for the bus, my wife captured this shot of the Wells Fargo building with her cell phone. If you look up at the very top, you can see the window washers.These guys are just sitting there and swinging away on a chair-type apparatus, while working. My hat's off to them, because there is NO WAY I would do this..
...and yes, the building edge is that sharp.

Fevers Mean Fotos
I'm not feeling too well at the moment, so I decided to take the lazy way out, and just share a few pictures with you.
This is a picture of "Hiss". He is a snake our kids caught in our back yard. He is over three years old now and he LOVES fish...
My wife volunteered last week for the 2009 Special Olympic World Games and she was able to take some great pictures. On top of meeting coaches and athletes from all over the world, she was also able to see some celebrities. Unfortunately, she didn't have her camera with her when the star of Scrubs was right in front of her.
Here is a picture of Michelle Kwan with some of the athletes...
A photo of Derek Parra, 2002 Olympic Gold and Silver Medal winner...
And finally, a picture of a bomb-sniffing dog...
Alright, back to bed for me:(
