went the short way

for the newspaper, on the dry sidewalks....the long way was still frozen over where the street is shaded by big trees.....cleaned out the fridge some, put in a load of laundry.....and the mail was delivered for the first time this week.....got the gas bill, and it looks like I used about the same amount last year for the same billing period, right around 100 bucks worth....and I got an Occidental magazine, and the junk mail that usually comes on Tuesday.....it should get above freezing some time in the afternoon, so some of what re-froze overnight will melt again....still a lot of snow on the ground though.....there might be more freezing rain next Monday and Tuesday....
