現在的車子…耗電呀!!!
今天想說雪已經融得差不多了, 應該是駕 minivan 出門的時候了. 結果插入鑰匙, 發現車子已經沒有電了. 算一算上次駕出去應該是 13 號. 所以這車子的電池維持了沒有兩個星期就沒有電了. 想想以前的那輛 1988 年的舊車. 陽春車沒有任何的配額. 當時停在機場回家兩個月, 回來時一發就動了. 現在的車子, 一堆奇奇怪怪的配備…耗電呀!!!

Snowing on Christmas
第一次在這裡遇見 Christmas Snow… 不過已經懶到讓雪自己融化吧! 已經沒有那股掃雪的勁了… [img=images/20081225.jpg popup=false]
終於要結束了…
這一個星期瘋狂的下雪天終於要結束了… 從星期日就已經管不到鄰居的車道了. 不過這也沒有辦法的事, 鄰居的車又大又重, 每次駕過就是個深深的車印子. 要鏟這些冰根本是不可能的事. 都已經為此壞了兩個雪鏟了…
往北的 Sounder
在 YouTube 上找到這個從 Ballard (Seattle) 到 Mukilteo Station 前的影片. 剛剛好和我三年半前寫的 Blog 對應一下. 不過這影片是從 Ballard Locks 前的升降鐵橋前開始的, 一直到 Mukilteo Station 前的 Mile Point 27. 影片景點順序: * 影片一開始 Ballard Locks 前的鐵橋 * 2:00 – Golden Gardens Park * 3:13 – Carkeek Park * 4:33 – Richmond Beach Park * 4:47 – NW 195th Street * 5:02 – Port Wells Road (之後就是 Peter Point 了) * 6:03 – Edmonds Station * 7:46 – Meadowdale Park * 8:17 – Picnic Point Park * 影片最後就在 Mile Point 27 之前, 約 Mukilteo Station 前兩英哩的位置 Side Note: Colon cancer gap widens between blacks, whites State’s jobless rate rises to 6.4% in November A jelly belly can lead to dementia
五小時…
今天花了五小時鏟雪, 可是也只鏟到道路斜坡的開頭. 並不像一般都鏟到街口. 第一次花了這麼久鏟雪. 看看正在下著的雪, 明天應該是會輕鬆些了… Side Note: Washington now 13th-largest state FDA warns against some diet pills sold on the Web
