A Walk in The Snow

Round two of the big snow left us with over four inches overnight. Misao's footprints in the snow as she took the car this morning. The big storm, round three, set to arrive within the hour and not stopping until noon tomorrow. Looking at sixteen more inches at least.

OH JOY! I say.

I took a journey myself through the cold wind driven snow of round one yesterday, taking a walk to the bank. It was a worthwhile walk as I haven't made it to the gym much in January. And while we hear plenty about the more snow we are going to get I found nothing in our local paper's website about the grand opening of Ray's MTB (good video coverage with this article). The last article the local paper wrote was that its opening was delayed. Could there be an anti mountain bike conspiracy? Milwaukee isn't warm to new comers certainly. Anyone, not local old money, looking to invest has an uphill climb.

I didn't attend the grand opening. Was feeling under the weather the last week or so and a bit busy. Not to mention the admission is a hindrance for us in our current financial circumstance. But I am sure all mountain bikers have only the highest hopes for Ray's in Milwaukee.

The tulips are buried.

The birds have no bath.

The house has no dog.

Sounds like a poem in there somewhere. I have neglected my writing with the holidays, catching a string of odd jobs and being discouraged by poor sales of my first book. Now I am focusing more on my next stories. Need to spend a good chunck of time each day to write. Have to do a bit of e-bay-ing also. Will be enjoying weathering out this storm.
