Snow yet again

The third winter storm in about ten days! Lots of snow but most of it came down during the night and the roads cleared pretty quickly in the morning. Our snow plow guy cleaned up our drive quite nicely and the city cleared the street soon after and then everything looked pretty normal but for the sombre grey skies, hanging low with cloud. During the day, I made some quick trips around the world via the internet, while baby napped and pre-schooler went on a play date at the neighbors. So, for today I've decided that I'm glad I'm not Lebanese living in Lebanon. Or a young schoolgirl trying to get on with life - or whatever they call life - in northern Iraq (thanks for all the Middle East blog links, Zeyad). Or a South Asian worker in any of the Gulf states. For that matter, I'm also glad I'm not a relative of Denis Rader and especially thankful that I didn't live next door to him in the 1970s and '80s. OK, back to the diapers- and-wipes job.
