First White Christmas in 18 years!

Did we go anywhere for Christmas? No. Not even if we wanted to.
The Pacific Northwest was completely shut down due to snow since Wednesday the 17th. And Before Jackie starts wondering aloud how it could be such a simple things as snow could completely paralyze us from Portland to Seattle let me remind you mid-westerners that the last time it snowed like this was in 1990.

Also, the area is riddled with streams and creeks which are important for Salmon and other things which are not as tasty in my opinion, so we don't use salt on the streets. We use something that is less environmentally impacting, cheaper, and completely ineffective.

Plus no one has a snow blower, or a plow or anything! And no road is flat. Seattle itself if built on 7 hills. So no, you cannot go anywhere if it really snows. Not by car, or bus, or train, or bicycle. The airport? Good luck with that.



Welcome to Miranda's dojo: Sensei Miranda allows Grasshopper Dolly to taste defeat. Pike training is about to begin. Just try to take it.


Catie tried to take it.


Thanks to "grams" Kathy for the matching outfits.
In the wrestling chaos I think we lost track of who is who. (Actually Catie is on top)
