Be Prepared

[puppetmaker]

That phrase uses to mean the Boy Scout Motto to me. Sean was a Boy Scout and did a lot of camping with his fellow scouts and friends. They loved finding ways of making the wilderness less wild. I think if he went now he would bring his own generator to make it even easier.

Now the first thing that pops into my head is Scar from the Lion King singing along with the Hyenas. The musical version not the film version.

We have another possible snowfall heading into the area tonight. It will probably be between 2 and 6 inches but I am betting less because we are prepared for it. We have all the materials needed to combat a storm and the after effects. The only problem is that this might put a spanner in our plans for the weekend so we are going to play that ancient game of wait and see.

I swear we are having more snow that usual this year. Peter pointed out that this goes in cycles and we were due for a snowy winter. I am hoping that this doesn’t affect our going to Farpoint. SnowCon was 9 years ago. Either way I am going to get ready for it.

I am grateful for being prepared before we knew we had to be prepared again.

Seattle is getting drowned this year: between swelling rivers and mudslides, it's really quite something to see. All this rain, and all the snow you're having, it supposedly a result of it being a La Nina year.

They are saying four to eight here. I'm hoping for another snow day.

I'm also thinking we'll get a couple of inches, but not more. In any case, I'm guessing that school will be closed, and hoping I won't have to go to work. I need the moolah, but driving all over the place with all of the kids on sloshy roads is not my idea of a good time.

We in fact are getting more snow this year. Average is 29 inches, we've already had 32 inches, not counting ice.

I'm supposed to go to a workshop/meeting tomorrow morning, taking a work colleague who doesn't drive. I've already told her that we're not going if the roads are bad.

Hey honey. Could you tell me if George Takai (sp is bad tonight) has a Twitter account? There's someone who says it is him, and I got a private message from him, and I'm a bit confused as to if it is him or not.

And yes, we did take a generator with us on a camping trip once.

Also is the Girl Scout Motto! Sometimes we change it around and tell folks "Deraperpeb" instead. ;)
