Baby, It's Cold Outside

This is the snow that never ends. Yes, it goes on and on my friends :) Okay, enough singing for now. It has been snowing and sleeting off and on since the evening of December 12. Today is the 22nd. I'm getting a little stir crazy. There's only so long you can stay inside and watch movies. I've been out in the cold several times and the longer this storm continues the more bizarre things are emerging. Portland is quickly becoming an Arctic version of the Wizard of Oz. Kids are snowboarding by the Blue Cross Blue Shield building at midnight. My neighbors brought out some cross country skis to get around downtown. Tri Met buses with chains are basically sledding around the city. Some crazy guy was even waterskiing in a wet suit! I know we are a bunch of outdoorsy folks but Portland seems even weirder than usual. If I had a dollar for every woman I saw traipsing around Keller Auditorium in short skirts and heels, I'd have enough gas money to drive to California. So many people are trapped at the airport that a few entrepreneurs are making $200 a head to drive people to Seattle and other destinations. If only I had 4 wheel drive and chains :) Once my digital camera has recharged I intend to take some pictures of the snow and post some shots on this blog. Too bad Epi's not here--we would have the mother of all snowball fights. In case I don't blog before Christmas, Happy Holidays everyone.
