Whew! Just got in from running the snowblower along my driveway and sidewalk. We got about 6 inches of snow overnight, but there is almost always a drift about double that at the base of my driveway, just because of the angle of the house and the wind direction. This morning was no exception. But there is a certain feeling of triumph when you break through the drift and go sailing out the other side.
It is still snowing, but lightly, so we may pick up another inch or 2 before it stops.

But the best part is that, when I came inside and turned on the TV, they were announcing that the White House has come through with a bridge loan for GM and Chrysler. Some of you know that I live in a suburb north of Detroit, and the last couple of months have been absolute agony for the whole community, whether you work in the auto industry directly or not. I felt like I've been holding my breath the whole time, and now I can take a deep breath and exhale. What a relief, even if it is short-term. I never thought I'd say this but, Thanks George.
