friday night, and i am snowed in at work for the night
-
yep, its true. down here in Cornwall, England, somewhere where "snow" means 3 flakes that melt the instant they land we have had the first snow of the year. so much snow that the local roads are impassible :~ i tried to drive home a few hours ago. when i found myself going sideways i got the idea that this was not all that safe :wtf: at least i was lucky, i was able to get the car back to the office, so i know i am parked somewhere safe. several other people had to abandon their cars upto a mile away and walk back, because there was no way they could drive up any of the local hills. so for the first time i will be doing an all nighter :zzz: zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness

Cool - did you get any photos? :-) On a different note, you do realize that using feline in your nick would imply that you are a woman, don't you? For some reason feline is always taken as a feminine thing!

Glad to hear you're safe. Hopefully the road crews will get things cleaned up soon.

Good luck. Hopefully you can find something besides work to help you pass the time. Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

this has always been a fear of mine living an hour from work. I have been the last person let through by state police twice. Although it is easier knowing you are the last person on the road. Good luck and hopefully they will clear the roads for you soon! _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

This morning was pretty bad, both with the heavy snow slowing my journey down, and the idiots who think they can drive at 80mph in the road-slush giving the police and ambulance services plenty to work with. I passed two seperate white vans who managed to spin themselves around and hit the barriers on the A380 past Telegraph Hill. Crazy, crazy people. It was very pretty first thing though - I was the first person out in my street so all the snow was untouched, except for a few cat prints. Just like on the Xmas cards. This evening there wasnt any snow at all though, it had all cleared, so you have my comisserations.

It's pouring down snow here in Minnesota, USA. We have something like 3-4 inches (~10 centimeters) since this morning. It's crazy. And I need to drive about 2 hours to the in-laws tonight for Thanksgiving. Gonna be a rough ride. :)

Yep, and cats are typically associated with women! That's why we have cat woman but no cat man! I don't know why this is so though. Or maybe I am the only guy here who thinks that feline is usually associated with women?

Good luck. My step-dad and his wife just came back from his cabin up in Ely, MN a week or so back. Apparently they just missed the snow. Up there they routinely have a couple of feet on the ground for most of the winter.

I've always believed the world needs a kick-ass Samurai Chicken. Written in the same spirit as Samurai Cat. Only I think the chicken would need to have been raised by rebel Ninja's to pull it all off...;)

Yeah, cats can be guys - Macavity, Tom and Garfield are all really cool guy-cats. But humans are cat-like only when they are women!

Again, I would disagree. Ferociousness is associated with the big cats, lions, tigers, leopards. Anyone who has met a cougar, or even a bobcat in the wild knows they are just miniature big-cats very dangerous. The examples of wild cats in Hawaii and Australia where they become huge preditors and have to be hunted to protect the other species. Cat association with females is a modern thing, Cat association as a hunting male is very common in aboriginal cultures. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

I don't know... having seen a ... rooster fight once, I think a chicken doesn't need training. You might want something that is completely unassociated with violence... like turtles... ;P _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

My step-dad's mentioned Fall Lake; IIRC, his property is on one edge of it.

I'm in Helston and there's about an inch of snow here - the roads were pretty slushy when I drove home around 4:45 but not too bad. It's much worse on Bodmin Moor. Hope it clears up soon or you'll be doing an all-weekender! Steve. Asynes yw brassa ages kwilkynyow.
