Let There Be Snow
There usually isn’t snow in Omaha on the tenth of October, but that global warming is kicking in something fierce, dropping about an inch of snow into our neighborhood.
As a result, we’re being forced to deal with the situation by staying indoors, turning on the fireplaces and eating hot tomato soup while playing Left4Dead and Battlefield 2.
The Rainbow play set in the backyard is a boy’s paradise at this point. Once the kids get their snow clothes on, I’m sure they’ll be out there playing for two, maybe three minutes.
Snow On Our Rainbow Playset
Snow In Our Backyard
While I was able to get the sprinklers winterized and drained, I didn’t even think about putting the backyard furniture into the shed or getting outdoor covers for the front porch furniture. That’ll have to wait a few days.
Snow On Our Trees
Not sure how the early snow will affect our trees. Hopefully all four trees will survive and avoid looking like the trees at the entrance to our subdivision.
The evidence was clear when I came down this morning. My three-year-old almost managed to make a sizable computer game purchase on steam last night. Fortunately, the computer froze when he tried to start 6 dedicated servers for Left4Dead, one right after another.
While looking over the websites I check daily, I was impressed with KETV.com and their stance on stories worthy of journalism. Perhaps the news staff at KETV would like to point out the hamster that has learned how to paddle a boat, the dog that says “I love you” or the ferret that has learned to pickpocket visitors when they sit down on the couch.
Thank God For Hard Hitting News
Oh yeah, according to KETV, if you have old, unused medicine, you can drop it off:
The Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office and the county attorney are teaming up with 7 Can Help for Operation Medicine Cabinet.
They’re collecting old medicine at the Hy-Vee store in the Shadow Lake Town Center at 72nd Street and Highway 370 until noon.
“We are not asking their names. We are not writing down their license number. They drive by, they drop their drugs and they’re on their way,” said Sarpy County Sheriff Jeff Davis.
Or, alternatively, you can throw the pills away and avoid driving in the snow.
