Have you noticed how bad some of the roads are getting? All these months with freeze/thaw cycles, all the pressure that the snow (and thus snowplows) put on the asphalt... it's a wonder my tires are intact! This time of year, I always drive the same routes, so that I can memorize where the worst potholes are, and change lanes as much as possible to avoid them. Odds are, they won't even try to patch them until late March or April.
On a good note, I can get in and out of my driveway again. Snow shoveling is a heck of a workout! The drive still has tons of snow, but it has two nearly-clear furrows for my tires. The area near the road is a mess, but if I slide there, I can usually manage to get back into the (perfectly clear, grrr) road and make another run at it. At least it should be melting this week.
I've decided that before my trip, I'm not just going to get a hair trim. I'm gonna go to a spa for a manicure/pedicure! I've never had that done, and I'm going to pack some nice sandals for the theatre, so I need my toesies to look cute. I saw a news story on the airport bombing near Moscow. Frightening! I feel so sorry for all the people killed or injured in that. But I must admit, after that I did think, how's this going to affect my travels? I expect things may be a bit more strict at customs. I just hope I'm not so exhausted as to lose my usual polite manner when it comes to officials.
Oh, happy day! I have found my camera and my memory card reader! In addition to being quite valuable when I travel, these two little items will let me put more pictures up here. It's hard to manipulate pictures while I'm on line, since the internet connection device takes up one of my USB ports, but I'll have some ready for tomorrow, I'm sure. And I can update all my yarny pics on Ravelry, too.
