Well, apparently Richard's gone off the road and is down over a 5 foot snowbank about 5 or so miles from here. (He worked last night and was on his way home - fool, dunno why he just didn't stay at the hospital) Luckily he's not hurt at all, and there isn't any damage to the truck but he's ticked. (go figure)

I dunno what to do. There's no way da Mazda can get to him, 5 miles is a long way to walk in a blizzard and there is nothing commercial moving right now - tow trucks, buses, cabs. The ironic thing is, he's the one with the four wheel drive. He's the one other people call when *they* get stuck - so there's nobody else to call.Luckily it's not that cold out - only about -2, but the wind is wicked, so walking would be horrible. Sitting tight, however, wouldn't be so bad. Not great, but not bad.

I suspect that somebody will pick him up if he waits a few minutes (gotta love Nova Scotia for that - if anybody else is on the road, chances are they'll drive him right to the door. Good ol' Maritime congeniality.

Meanwhile, I'll just sit tight.

He's home safe and sound. Sure enough, somebody came along, picked him up and dropped him at our door.

Now we just have to wait until August to get the truck.

Thanks for your concern, sweetie. I'm gonna stay right here until Spring.

Well, if it's any consolation, it's well over 40F here this morning, so spring is definitely on the way, in spite of what you're seeing out the window.
