HNT, kinda...
Apparently someone thought I was poking fun at her, but I wasn't, really. Seems as though she wanted some say in the matter and she came across some pics of me that went up today on her blog. <Take a look if you like.>
I just know she's smiling ear to ear, just making those dimples stand out even more.

Cold Dawn
Another cold morning, viewed through the windshield, the darkness seems to be everywhere.
Traveling west, the first hints of light make themselves known as they peak in the rear-view, while the headlights struggle for purchase on the road ahead.
Stopping for a coffee, I'm bitten by the single digit temps yet again.
The roads are sparsely populated at this time of the morning, especially on a Saturday, its easy going for a change.
Heading east now, the brightening sky casting it's orange glow, as dawn awakens to another day.
The constant tug of war between light and dark plays out before me, as it has for millions of years, and will continue to do long after I'm gone.

Blizzard Pics
Here are a few pictures I snapped on my phone while driving to work during the blizzard the other day. I wish I had my Nikon with me yesterday to capture the images of what I was attempting to write about.

Terrible beauty
I awoke to the alarm droning in my ears, the morning ritual taking place again. Shower, shave, dress for work, get the little one up, dressed, and fed before I'm out the door, coffee in hand.
The last remains of yesterdays blizzard encased my truck in ice and snow, shrouding it in the morning darkness. The sound of the engine and constant crack of ice as the scraper does its job, are the only sounds breaking the early morning cold air.
And it is cold, 22 degrees before you factor in the wind still whipping the snow around my body.
Its the drive in that reveals nature's terrible beauty. As I make my way slowly through back roads, caught behind cars having trouble keeping their tires griping the hard packed snow, I have a chance to let my eyes wander.
The sun slowly rises, the sky taking on a light blue hue. Its just enough to start seeing how every thing stands frozen in time. The white is everywhere, every tree from top to bottom covered, iced over and now standing as lonely sentries to the brightening dawn.
Its a rare moment. I'm awestruck being surrounded by this terrible beauty that has left thousands without power or stranded in their homes.
And yet, I can't help but revel in moment, in it's perfect clarity, and a sense of calm washes through me.

The eyes have it
I had a customer come in the other day that I helped. I came around the corner and she's standing there, an older women in her 60's. I ask her, "what can I help you with today?." She looks up at me and says "Oh my god", I look behind me and ask if something is wrong. She says "No, its just, you have the most beautiful blue eyes, their so sexy." I asked if that was a bad thing, she said "not at all honey."
I got a good chuckle out of it.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I've been feeling quite angry lately and have been having some trouble coping with it. So much so that I was ready to start a fight with with some asshole who bumped into me and didn't have the damn courtesy to say sorry or excuse me. After talking with Beryl last night, I think what it boils down to is me trying too hard to bury emotions again, and its making things worst.
What scares me the most is that I'm going to harm my daughter. She is only about two and a half now, but oh my fucking god, does she know how to push my buttons.I keep feeling I should have more patience than this, and I know that there is no reasoning with a two year old. It also doesn't help hearing my wife say "you need to have a little more patience", really, don't you think I already fucking know that? I also don't want my daughter to think she is going to get her way just because she pithes a fit.
I'm working on it, but it takes time.

Science
I was not aware of this, but apparently I'm some kind of scientist. One of my nephews was over my house with my wife and daughter while I was at work and he had a lot of Astronomy questions, not Astrology as my wife told him. What she did tell him was to ask Uncle W, he would know. So, when I got home from work, I'm bombard by questions from a six year old about the cosmos, it continues on the car ride back to his house as well. He is absolutely amazed at my knowledge of the heavens, even though every answer I give him becomes another question.
And therefor, I'm somehow a scientist. At least in his eyes.
A mad scientist maybe!
