...been snowing since before I got up and to beat all, one of the counties had finally plowed the street and pushed up a two foot high snow berm across the driveway. I live right on the county line so it could have been mine or the county across the street. Have to see if I can get out on the other side of the trailer park. Funny that they would do it now since they have both ignored the street up to now.
Going to plan B for Christmas. A lady friend who lives close to me and I are going to take in a movie and grill some steaks and maybe watch some DVD's.
Merry Christmas shipmates!

Yeah that is their street.......the photo, simple but so beautiful.
Us guys from the land of no snow...or at least here in West Oz, just 'melt' over photos like that, so beautiful.
Yeah I know, I have had to shovel some snow and the novelty does wear off after a while, but it IS beautiful to look at scenes such as the one of the John and Millie's street.
The weather meanwhile will gradually warm up over the next week to over 100f......."YEEEEHAAAAA!"

...surf or body surf? Never thought to ask you that when you stopped by Tucson. I love to body surf ... when I can find some waves and the water temperature is sufficient.
I would imagine there might be some good surfing down your way.

Tried to surf as a kid when I came over from England but, well....the less said about that the better.
I did however, manage to ride a wave once, at Waikiki Beach in 1986....what a thrill that was. *_*
Body surfing I love, unfortunately here in the Rockingham are we have protected beaches from the nearby reefs so therefore we don't get 'waves'.
We do however get the occasional Great White Shark and this time a 51 yr old man was taken sometime today in front of his son and as yet there has been no body found.

I live about 1 km from this beach, lovely beach for young kids.....well, not for a while yet maybe which is a bummer as we are going to have 3 days of 39 C hit us this week coming.
Blue *_*

The San Pedro is well east of Tucson, coming out of Mexico and flowing (when there's water) past Tombstone and Benson on I-10. It then continues N until it feeds the Gila River.
The Santa Cruz River also comes N from Nogales, runs through Tucson, has even less flow than the San Pedro ... except during heavy monsoon rains. It's amusing that it was recently declared 'navigable waters' to protect the riparian corridor but the only way to navigate it would be by canoe with frequent portages to get through dry spots!
I make reasonably frequent pilgrimages to Maui to get my body surfing in.
Before I moved down here I lived and worked in Santa Cruz CA, and my factory was right across the street from Natural Bridges State Beach. I would occasionally go body surfing during my lunch hour ... bare back! (No wetsuit) Gads, that water was cold (~60 F) so I'd come out when my lips were blue and I couldn't feel my feet. That's when I decided going to Hawai'i was a MUCH nicer way to go.
