Thoughts on the blizzard

• Dogs with short legs won't go outside until their owners create special dog paths in the snow so the can take care of business.
• Shoveling causes tremendous lower back pain.
• It's worth $10 to pay a couple kids to finish shoveling the driveway you've valiantly tried to clear yourself.
• If your newspaper comes, chanced are you can't find it.
• It would do you good to get to befriend the guy down the street with a snowblower.
• It really is "through rain, snow, sleet or hail" with the post office. The UPS man too.
• Sometimes the weather people are right.
• Buses are definitely the best mode of transportation in treacherous weather.
• Those Columbian boots you got last year are worth every penny you paid for them.
