2nd day now and we are still iced in. Our world is frozen. The roads around our house have a layer of ice, making transportation virtually impossible. Hunkered down in the house with the heater going non-stop, snacking on limited food, doing computer work, writing music, playing piano, and yes, even watching television.
Finally in a fit of utter stupidity, I decided to go get the mail and go to the grocery store. Headed out slowly with Joel, slid around a little but got the mail, got some groceries and headed back. Yikes, the road back was worse. Slid around and ended up in a ditch near Dollar General. No going forward, no going backward, no going. A man shows up in a large pickup and hauls me back to the highway. Took off again and it happened again!
This time a different truck showed up. Towed me to the Dollar General parking lot. Grabbed a couple of the sacks of groceries and got a ride back home in a four-wheel drive truck. Now my truck is at a parking lot in Bangs.
Big pain of a journey. Ill-conceived, unintelligent, no sense, price paid. Truck lonely without a garage for protection tonight.
But we are blessed to have our family, our home, comforts, enough food, entertainment, and heat. We are happy, just not all that productive. Oh well, the frozen world is out there. The warm world is in here.
