The Weather Outside is Frightful(brian)

We knew we were going to get hit with the white stuff this week but this is ridiculous. I haven't liked snow since I was a kid. I can't work. I can't ride. I can't run> this sucks. We had battened down the hatches for the big storm coming in Monday night. Tuesday we had several inches of white fluffy snow. With no school and no chance of work, we got out and played and had a really good time with the fam.

I even got out the mountain bike to spin around although that was a classically bad idea. It was way past Brookside Cx out there





I communed with some customers and we all agreed that we could get our collective feces stacked vertically on Wednesday.  More snow/ice was coming, but you'd assume that the powers that is, here in the village, having tempted fate once would be johnny on the spot with the salt trucks and plows.

Of course we're all familiar with the penalty for assumption.

What we could see happening by nightfall was an ice storm that was going to give us another non-productive day.

We spent the night listening to trees cracking and limbs falling.  We (pronounced the dom gdess/princess & the pea) decided to get the kids in oour bed as our room is protected from any falling branches.  We are surrounded by beautiful trees but don't want a wake up call from one coming thru the window.

We woke up to an absolute craziness of limbs everywhere and ice as far as we could see.

I emailed around to see who had power and heard back from the usual suspects.  Luck was with us, as no one was hurt or had serious damage. The Web-people had power but no milk for the coffee and the Seilers had milk but no power.  Obviously that would work out.  The papist was solid and fatty had no power  but was able to help co-worker Janeen(his neighbor) out with the generator.  Cyclist-hating Ari was without a fully functional heater but was McGuyvering his way thru it.

The biggest shock was that Doug went to work.  Go back and read that sentence again.  Apparently the big bosses at ACME cellular came to town and decided they should go against instructions from the Mayor and public safety officials and hold a meeting.  Work sucks, why can't we all just be rich and spend the day screwing around and riding?

Stufly is probably coming for the chili that's cooking as are a few others it appears.

What a wonderful season.  Skiers, explain this garbage to me please. you like being in this why?
Hopefully this is the end of the snow madness. My question was why people bought milk and bread when the power was in danger. Those are the first two things that go bad, right?

Our other entertainment this week was the discovery that there is a facebook group in Oldham county(the next one over) dedicated to hating and hurting cyclists. The vile shit that these people were spewing was amazing. You never realize how bizarre these people can get. Some of them were just High School kids. All the names got turned over to the cops and our local fishwrap. The discussion of how to take out a cyclist makes it premeditated if it comes to pass. One team has stopped riding in that area. I think we should go en mass.
The papist traced one of them and came up with an address and an arrest record(shocking, right?).
We need to pay a visit like Walter and the Dude just to see what the deal is.
Maybe we'll take Curtis with us just in case. He does love a good confrontation.

It could be that the thought of one more day on the trainer has me a little edgy. I'm getting really close to being Jack Nicholson typing away in "the shining". Just keep those creepy little girls away from me. That's gives me the willies.
