Ok, so it was cold enough this morning to frost the windshield. No big deal, this is North Dakota, I’m used to it. So I scraped off enough to see adequately, and started on my way; I could see, I was fine. Right after I got through the first major intersection, I quite suddenly couldn’t see a blessed thing. There was a tiny 2- by 1- inch clear space in the very right-hand side of the windshield, and beyond that just a bunch of white. I was so afraid of hitting something-another car, a curb, a tree, a building.... eek

It was freaky-scary, but after grinding the curb once and "off-roading" also once, I managed to maneuver into a parking lot where I could do a more thorough scraping job, and made it to work 10 minutes late. And soon after found out I didn’t have to come in until 3 and a half hours later. mad

But after work was fun! I went to visit our local animal shelter, played with the kitties (some of whom were in heat-oh joy! more kittens later....) and walked a couple of dogs. One was very undisciplined, and nearly chewed through the nylon rope part of the take-out leash. The other was young, very affectionate and friendly...and ate a dead mouse when I took him outside. Not exactly the smartest dog in the kennel.... sweatdrop
