Photos Finally

I finally had time to review some photos of the visit to the doctor, the blizzard, and Christmas. I uploaded them to Flickr but I do not like their way of handling comments on the photos so you should open the slideshow in a new window and follow along with the descriptions here.

1 - Wednesday morning about 8am. The storm had started a few hours before at about 2am or so, and there was 4 or 5 inches on the ground. Snowpacked roads but not icy since it was nice and cold. Driving on snow is no big deal, it's when it's icy or slushy that sucks.

2 - Traffic not too bad

3 - Same.

4 - I'm at the doctor. 149 lbs, 96.9 temp, 120/68 bp. The other scribble is about my soon-to-be-four-eyes.

5 - Tools for the physical. Hey, what's that latex glove and AquaGel for?

6 - Here's the doctor freezing off one of the little tumor/goiters.

7 - Taking blood. Over/under for my total cholesterol .. based on that crappy home test .. 230?

8 - Driving home. The storm had been raging while at the doctor. By now there's maybe 6 or 7 inches down, windy, but driving is still super because it's snowpack.

9 - Be that as it may though the traffic is heavy.

10 - Fuckers.

11 - Get this. To get home I only had to go 6.2 miles. Left at 11am. Finally got home at 12:30. Yes, ONE HOUR AND A HALF TO GO 6.2 MILES. Fuckers.

12 - T with the doggies.

13 - Nobody on the road.

14 - Snowy.

15 - Some tables outside the Kaiser.

16 - Everything is shut down. Businesses, malls, Taco Bells, everything. But this liquor store! Priorities I guess.

17 - The parking lots of the Kaiser had cars everywhere.

18 - This is all that was visible on the E.

19 - Snow on top of the E. It would snow more and our total ended up at about 23 inches. Some areas got more, some less. The wind made getting a real measurement hard because of the drifting and scouring. On one hand we had a six-foot drift, but a couple feet away there was some exposed grass.

20 - Snow on the T.

21 - T & E.

22 - back of E. Snow above the bumper.

23 - Tommye after being couped up for two days. Here we finally got the T dug out and went to lunch at a mexican place. Mexican food.

24 - We're actually out?!?

25 - My burrito. Beef & bean. Smothered in Green.

26 - I had not shaved for two days. Here 1/2 shaved, 1/2 not.

27 - Up to Saturday now. Max at the dog park. She knows what "dog park" means so we refer to it as "DP" at home.

28 - Lots of snow.

29 - Honey in it.

30 - She likes it.

31 - Table at the dog park.

32 - Expanse of untouched snow.

33 - Dogs and snow.

34 - Looking.

35 - Snowball.

36 - Honey got stuck under the table.

37 - Chipotle. Barbacoa.

38 - It was good.

39 - We went up to Evergreen for Christmas.

40 - Tree.

41 - For opening the gifts on Christmas morning we started a killer fire. So warm.

42 - Shoveling the deck.

43 - Nice view.

44 - Me

45 - Again.

46 - She loves it.

47 - See the table? Evergreen got around 40 inches of snow, and this picture was taken on Monday afternoon, many days after the storm ended so you can see they got dumped on.

48 - Max gets some attention from Dave.

That's it.
