I spent part of the day posing again, for the new February calendar image. Not my favorite things to do, especially considering how I was (not) dressed. On the other hand, I'd really like to look as good as that image. That is not, alas, what I see in the mirror.

The rest of day took a while, dealing with the snow and the drivers who believe that they can drive in it. There is ample evidence to call such belief into question. Snow, which can have ice under it, is not dry pavement. Some folks seem to be surprised by this. In February! I've never liked the "dumb as an ox" line, but I'll use it now. I *AM* an ox, and these people are dumber than I am. What's that say about them?

I don't think it was the same truck I pushed after the last big snow, but I wound up pushing a pickup again. At least this guy didn't go down the hill. He just had the misfortune to have a two-wheel drive truck with an empty bed on a patch of ice covered by the snow.

And then there was the time spent dealing with snow at home. Walkway, driveway, and since I really didn't have anything better to do, a couple of the neighbor's driveways. The upside is that I was away from the telephone pretty much all day. So if I got any campaign phone calls, I wasn't around for them.
