It’s now being called the heaviest storm in ninety years. Roads closed and hundreds of people stranded by avalanches. Interstate 70 is closed due to avalanche danger. Nederland and Eldora are isolated by avalanches.
Snow
Had a good time outside.
The house and shamu.

Weather
SNOW DAY! Haven’t had one in years.
The perfect storm. Moisture from the south, cold from the north, weather from the west. We’re getting buried.

Weather
This is good. For the last two weeks, we’ve had warm wonderful spring weather. We’ve worked in the yard. We’ve had our windows open, the birdbath de-icer unplugged, and the dripper on.
Now they’re flashing a winter storm warning across the bottom of the screen. That weather all along the west coast is working its way our way. They’re predicting over half a foot of snow for the front range so far.
Bring it on. Dump a ton in the mountains, and give us some here too.
And poor Bill, stuck in the desert sun.

Rball
Well, I’ve suffered a racquetball setback. I’m on injured reserve.
Got hit in the foot with a racquet. A straight shot right across the big toe. Jammed it. Split the toenail. Turned the whole thing purple. I can still walk, but not very well.
You try to be careful how you play and who you play. There is a lot of trust involved, playing this hard in a confined space. There has to be an understanding that safety is more important than points. Getting hit with a ball is no big deal. It hurts, but it is not disabling. Getting hit with a racquet is something else. If someone is at risk, you don’t take the shot. You hold up, call a hinder, the other player thanks you and gladly replays the point.
I try to be careful who I play with or against. It is just not worth getting in there with a wild man.
This time, however, I didn’t have the option of playing or not playing. I was the only one in the room. I was alone, practicing.
Maybe I won’t try that shot in competition.
