Patriot Retort: Boy, December sure didn’t waste any time, did it? We got hit with first snowstorm of the season at some point yesterday or last night. And I had no idea it was coming.
I mean, I knew it was going to snow. But the weather reports predicted three to five inches. Yeah, no. It was more like three times five inches. more

I know that cold and snow can be difficult, but some winter scenes can be gorgeous, like this one with the two dogs running a snow path, probably enjoying themselves in the winter wonderland.
It’s wonderful for me now that I’ve taken employment wrenching in a friends small engine shop. God bless ethanol! First snow had over 100 snowblowers brought in, mostly with failure to start issues. God bless ethanol!

When I was a kid, my dad got me a snow shovel for my 10th birthday and said “go earn some of your own money”. It worked.
^^^^ I actually asked for a snow shovel for Christmas when I was 12, so I could do the same thing ^^^^ 😉
… made some good $$$, for a kid … a buck a sidewalk
