two snowstorms in one season...

going on twelve years in the richmond/henrico area, i don't recall seeing this happen before. this is definitely the wintriest winter i've ever seen down here. i keep going downstairs to sweep the walkway clear of snow once an hour, but it's coming down at a solid clip now -- i may have to do this every half-hour for a while.

and i'm kicking myself. i've known, since the first half of the week, that another storm was on the way, i told myself i'd get a shovel at sears, and, lazy bastard that i am, i didn't do it. i know for a fact that almost no one else in this apartment complex bothers to go outside when it's snowing like it is, and, judging from the last storm we had, the maintenance people don't even know what a shovel is. i could have shoveled everyone's walkway after the storm had passed and raised enough money to host a party in the function room.

instead, i'm sitting on my ass, watching the snow come down and playing games at pogo in between sweepings. (truth be told, i suck at pai gow poker, but i can play scrabble like a m*%$@#f+!k%r.)

anyway, the snow is getting ridiculous now. later...
