The Snowy Day

   How does one prepare for a Nor'easter:  plenty of warnings have been issued, so there's no excuse for unpreparedness.  What to do: carry out the usual cat litter protocol, put refuse into outside garbage bins, run the dishwasher, do a load of laundry, fill the birdfeeder, bring in the newspaper, and the mail, which came early today, drive to the post office to get that all-important check sent out, make a few telephone calls while still able (which doesn't accomplish anything because nobody ever answers,)
   So now what?  The snow has stopped, but will start up again with a vengeance, so the reports state. I've seen some schoolbusses pass by, precious cargo to be delivered before the apocalyptic return of snow. 
    I guess I'll just sit here, a pile of blankets at the ready, and wait for the power to go out.
