Vanishing snow

Woke up to a couple inches of snow, enough to cover everything completely, and dense fog so that I could not see the hay bales fifty feet away.  I was worried since both my new mattress set and actual internet were to arrive today.  But then the sun came up.  By a half hour later I could see a figment of the outline of the horse stables.  An hour still, and had full visibility in the valley with fog covering the foothills and beyond.  A little later I looked up - mountains still covered - to then look back five minutes later and they were in full, unobstructed view.  I took a walk in the sun with but speckles of sjow left.  By the time the mattress guys arrived at 11:30 it looked as though nothing had happened at all. 

The internet guy?  No show.  And no call either.  F***er.  He had a window from 1:00-5:00, so I tried to be reasonable and give him the full opportunity to show.  At exactly 5:00 I called the local intermediary that was to do the installation.  Voicemail kicks in because they close at 5:00.  I left a not so nice message about waisting my time.  It will be repeated in excess tomorrow morning.

And so I continue to peck away.

Same window view, all within a 2-hour time frame:

Yellow on blue

I've been listening to ESPN radio on my phone in lieu of TV or internet.  If all goes according to plan, a new mattress set is to arrive Wednesday morning followed by internet that afternoon.  The ranch house is slowly coming together.

Sadie eats an average of eight bugs per day.  Merus has multiple nap locations and, thankfully, does not try to nap beneath the wood stove.  Nathan is back in NYC finishing his last month of work.

I'm finding ways to spend my time.  Like picking up a camera again.  Sad that my film cameras are in storage in upstate NY, but I'm not sure where I could get mt film developed anyways.  Plus this place basically takes pictures for you.
