The sunrise drew me out four times yesterday morning to take photos. It was hard to choose one to upload.

The high yesterday was 70F, and it felt almost balmy when I took the dogs on a late afternoon walk.

A few years ago, Jack uploaded a bunch of photos from our 1999 trip to Australia. Due to the space limitations that we had at the time, we had to take it off our website. Then we lost the source for the commentaty, but not the photo scans themselves. Last weekend, Jack recreated it as a photo album, and it is now on his weblog, Exempli Gratia.

Our house is on a school bus route, with a high priority for getting plowed, and we generally have no complaints about how quickly our road gets cleared after a major snowfall. Therefore, I was surprised by the single lane of icy ruts that comprised our road when I left the house to go vote this morning. Fortunately, I met the clearing crew as I went out: two trucks and a road grader, followed closely by the school bus. Jack didn’t have any trouble getting home in the Suburu last night, except for when he had to wait by our next door neighbor’s driveway for ten minutes for someone else who was stuck.

It pays to live in a tiny precinct: despite going to the wrong polling place and standing in line for a bit, then having to find the correct polling place two blocks away, I was done and in my car by 7:30. I took this photo on the road to our valley: snow is so pretty when you don’t have to deal with it.

We seem to have about eight to twelve inches so far, but with the drifting it is hard to tell. I knew we were supposed to get a significant amount, but I wasn’t expecting a mini-blizzard.

I hope my mother is happy.

I took a walk with a friend in Black Forest Regional Park yesterday.
