5 inches of new snow in the LipsYard driveway. You can see the tracks of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel carrier's car.
Is 6:25am too early to fire up the 8 horse Snapper 2-stage blower? No way! Out of bed neighbors, we've got snow to clear.
The 6 speeds forward, 2 reverse, 24" wide "White Death Eater" makes short work of the driveway.
It takes a slower speed and a little finesse to clean out the walk to the front door, too.
Unfortunately, the sidewalk to the rear of the house is only 18" wide, and needs to be done by hand to avoid turf damage.
The area under the feeders gets done by hand, too.
Meanwhile, a snowjob of a different kind is happening in the Bush Administration. Despite it's own new security estimate that Iran had given up it's nuclear (or is that nuke-you-ler?) weapons ambitions 3 years ago, the President says nothing has changed in our attitude towards the Middle East nation. He chooses to believe the reports from our top intel people when it meets his neo-con needs for invasion He didn't listen when the intelligence agencies told him he was wrong in claiming that Iraq had purchased yellow cake from Niger and he doesn't listen now when they tell him his alarms about Iran are without factual foundation.
"Business as usual."
The election can't get here soon enough.
