Snow Day

For those of you who grew up around snow, you know what a snow day is. Every kid hoped for those days where it snowed so hard that school was closed. After 12 years of public school in Montana, I had only a half a day cancelled because of snow.

Today I got an equivalent. There was a big ammonia leak near my work and the company told everybody to not come in. I hope nobody got hurt.

Since my work laptop is there and I am here.... oh well. I will have a lot more work on Monday, but I think I am going to wash my truck and new car today.

How is your weekend?

We had a really bad snowstorm in 1985, and I remember getting a whole week off of school. Literally not a year went by that we didn't have at least 3 or 4 snow days off. Sometimes if there was a really bad storm coming later in the day, they would round up all the buses and send all the kids home at noon.

I grew up just outside of Buffalo.

My weekend is great, I have both days off for some reason, and I am just sitting at home enjoying the fact that I don't have to go to work.

I had a few as kid in Tahoe (though not nearly as many as I'd have liked!)

Don't remember much about my days in North Fork, I was only in kindergarten then...going to school was about as much fun as not going to school!

I was there in about 1964-65. Lived in Awahnee for a couple years before that, then moved over to Bass Lake after North Fork. My dad was principal of Awahnee school and then the Librarian in North Fork, my mom taught at Bass Lake.

A few...not too many though, I suppose. My folks moved around a lot when I was kid. I think my dad was trying to keep one step ahead of the revenuers...
