    Just checked a lottery ticket, one that I won $20 on. I handed it in, without bothering to check how I won it.

    Today I checked it to see how I won, what category...and I missed a million by one digit.
    What would you have done if you had won a million?
    maybe a bottle of wine, and a day off.
    Why not crack open a bottle and put your feet up to celebrate not winning? I seem to remember the fictional Carmody had a bit of a hassle collecting his galactic lottery prize.
    His biggest problem was finding and understanding his old home, after he collected it.

    He could never go back, so he stayed in/on the wandering path. That was his new home.

    Batten Down the Hatches

    The forecast is for blizzard conditions where from this evening through Tuesday afternoon it’ll come down 1”- 4”/1.5-10 cm an hour. And with 40-60 mph winds, the drifts will be 4’-6’/1.2-1.8m. Then more snow on Thursday evening into Friday. I remind myself one storm at a time.

    4”- 6”/10 -15 cm of snow this past weekend. It’s snowing now. I went out to feed the birds three days worth. I told them I can’t come out for at least a couple of days. I went to the market for back-up bird seed. It was jammed packed. People seemed to be in their own little worlds, not paying attention plopped themselves in the middle of the lanes or plowing out into the main aisle without checking. The police could’ve made a lot of money for the state handing out tickets to shoppers.

    Being on the north side, there’s a lot of drifting, so through the night I shovel to stay ahead of it. Last year I over slept and it was struggle to open my door. Lori ended up having to replace my screen door. The guy downstairs had to climb out his window which is on the north side because he couldn’t get out his door that’s on the protected side. Even with his long legs, he labored through the snow and drifts on my side.

    Got lots of water ready because if the electricity goes out, I loose water, heat and lights. One good thing is I don’t have to worry about Wolfie this winter.

    Some weird art from the Renaissance.

    There's more where I found this, but am reluctant to share.

    My neighbor exited his window. He’s trudging through to the other side to shovel a path to his door. As I post a couple of hours later, the path has now disappeared.

    I went out four times through the night to stay ahead of it. I gave up shoveling a path from the stairs to the driveway because only hours later it filled back in because of drifts and blizzard winds.

    Before the last clearing, the first three deck stair were completely gone. By the time I got down there I found a fourth step and then the cement slab.

    Bottom of stairs where I gave up shoveling beyond cement slab.
