Rule No. 1 : Don't piss off Mother Nature.

Apparently, she did not cotton to my scoffing at her with the lawnmower yesterday.

I recall, while half asleep at some point in the middle of the night, hearing a large truck and thinking, "Odd that the salt truck would be out."

Upon waking, I heard the drone of a snowblower and thought, "Odd that someone would wait two days to clean up after the storm."

Wrong and wrong. What was really odd is that there was enough snow last night to warrant the plow filling in the end of my driveway. And Mother Nature didn't call Environment Canada so they could issue a forecast. What a tease.
