Snowish Tales

Two snow days at Purdue...it's virtually unheard of. And as the sleet and blowing winds were attacking every inch of my body, I remembered why I do not like winter. But when I woke up on Wednesday and saw the beautiful snow, I felt less hatred towards Old Man Winter. In fact, it was a lovely scene, especially since I didn't have to go out in it.

Today, my car decided that it was going to be firmly lodged in it's parking spot. Not so convenient when one needs to go to Wal-Mart for some "secret" errands. What has always amazed me at Purdue is anytime that I need help someone always shows up. Tonight as I am trying to back my car out of its spot and realizing in frustration that it was stuck, two nice gentlemen showed up. They offered to help me, but to no avail. Finally, I was able to locate a snow shovel and one of the guys dislodged what seemed to be a never ending chunk of ice. A friend came by and helped the other two guys out to push me out. Success! See, there are good people in the world :)
