Brrrrrrr! (and Grrrrrr!)

(By Erik)

What's less fun that snow and 16 times as dangerous?


I've said it before and I'll say it again — Oklahoma gets just enough ice so that you still have to go to work (or at least drive in it) but not enough so that anybody knows how to drive in it.


Of course, I'm not at work right now. I haven't been able to confirm it, but I think that the power is off at OC. Jeanie had to go in to work this morning, and I was a nervous wreck as I waited for her to call after she got there. She's fine for now, but we have an appointment with our OB/GYN at noon, so she has to drive all the way back up to Edmond (assuming our doctor is seeing patients today.)

I think your next assignment for the Chronicle should be covering weather-related disasters. These pictures are National Geographic worthy. Hope the cantaloupe is feeling warm and cozy. :)

Thanks Gena. What a nice thing to say — especially considering that the autofocus on my camera is busted. That's why that trash can pick looks a little blurry. I'm learning that Canon Digital Rebels have chronic problems with their autofocus mirrors. I'm trying to decide whether or not to repair it, replace it, or switch to Nikon. -- ET

These shots remind me of the evening we took so many incredible shots of the ice storm at Lipscomb. They were the most amazing pictures of ice the world has ever seen, I'm sure--and well worth freezing our keisters off. Or, they would have been if I'd remembered to put film in the camera.
