I know it's colder in Chicago and there's more snow in Boston, but for those of you that are having trouble imagining the snow in Oregon, here it is. Well, it's actually a nice winter mix of ice and snow. A guy actually skied by me today on a walk...on alpine skis! See that car in the left hand picture? That's Jack, the Prius. You might recognize her from her work in earlier blog entries, most notably for her kick-ass mileage in Yellowstone. She looks a bit thinner, you say? White's really her color; Makes her look half her size. And in the second picture? Can you see Mt. St. Helens? Yeah, neither can I.
The airport's closed today. I'm supposed to fly from Portland to Bangkok in three days. What to PDX and BKK have in common? They've both been closed within the last month. Okay okay. I know. An ice storm is a bit different than political protests, but let's just say it's a good thing I'm not into signs, otherwise I would just unpack my bags right now and Laura would be looking for me for a long time at customs. (As if I've already packed...)
If you're out on the roads, regardless of which coast you're on, please be careful.
Sending you actual warm wishes (and wishes of warmth),
Annie
P.S. I heard back from the aforementioned unnamed writer! I wrote her back saying I haven't been that star struck since meeting Paul Farmer which, as you probably know, was a big deal for me.
