Yes, it's snowing in Colorado

Just so you know, it is now snowing in Colorado.
Yesterday is was 70 degrees (F... that's 21 C for all you Canadians) and today I woke up to a little bit of snow (you might have to look hard to see it...)

Colorado/Denver drivers are now officially the worst drivers I have ever seen. There was exactly zero accumulation, and everybody was driving ~20 mph under the speed limit. But everyone wants to at least feel like they're going fast, so they stay within 5 feet of the car/semi in front of them. I expect my blood pressure to double before the end of winter, and I'll probably earn the title of 'Angriest driver this side of the Mississippi'.

On a related note, I had a squirrel try and come into my apartment, today - he slammed into my sliding glass door with a large *thud*. After this he stared me down for the next 30 minutes, as if to say "C'mon, now - open the door. It's cold outside, and now my head hurts."

Awwww. That squirrel is soooo cute. Maybe you need a pet.

Did Dad ever tell you about their pet squirrel, 'Teeny'? Only about a millions times.....

So good to hear from you, Justin. I'm sorry to hear about the snow because that means it's probably coming this way. I'm not ready.
You must have really clean windows if Mr. Squirrel thinks he can get in. He's soooooooo cute.

I'm a little anit-rodent at the moment, otherwise I would also say the squirrel is cute

You should have killed the squirrel. If you want, I can send you the live-trap that I use for chipmunks. This summer I only caught 3. One of them I watched as he walked in and got trapped. At least he didn't get inside like the one I had last year. A good story for another time.

We have a 'live' trap for squirrels. Ginger. I'll send her to whoever needs her....

We, also, have a live trap but you can't have it. I think we trapped 40 chipmunks this past summer. The squirrels we like to watch. The neighbors shoot them so there aren't too many around. Old folks need entertainment.!!

Old folks shouldn't put the words 'entertainment' and 'shoot' in the same paragraph.....
