I called my parents this morning. They told me they expect 20" to 30" out of this storm. I couldn't keep from giggling while we talked.

Today is Dad's birthday. He's 76. And he'll spend part of it out in the truck, if he can get it started, plowing snow. It's a pain when you get this much snow this early in the year. If it keeps snowing you run out of places to put it. The dooryard just keeps getting smaller and smaller.

I don't have any checks because of the earlier thefts I experienced. I have no check card. So I am on a strict cash economy. If I want to pay my bills I have to find another source of checks, I'll have to use cashier's checks or something. I had to go up to Tamuning to pay for a delivery of LP gas and pay my rent. Tomorrow I'll get out to pay the other local bills.

I hope my new checks come in soon. And I hope no one steals them.
