Giggles and Smiles on a Come n Go Snow Day

My newspaper box in winter 2010--one of the worst snowy winters in Omaha. 

Yesterday I drove to work at 6:30 a.m. to work on a project requiring numbers.

Dark morning.

Dry streets.

No problems.

About 8 ish someone walked in the door. 

“Wow, is that a crazy snow.”

Snow?

 I don’t drive in snow.

Well rarely do I drive in snow.

But already hard at work and with an appointment for a haircut 

after work, I stayed put.

Later, when I parked my car in front of Hair Masters a guy yelled at me. 

Scared me, he did.

I looked up—I’m sure my startled look screamed “fear.”

“Isn’t it great,” he said.

“What?”

“The snow.” He pointed at the slush I stood in. “It came and went. I love it.” His grin brought a smile to my face. 

Yes, I like snow that comes and goes. We need moisture, and the slush of the afternoon meant no problems getting around.

Funny how a man’s voice in a parking lot could bring an instant uneasiness, but then in today’s world, one never knows what might happen in a parking lot.

I like the Come n Go Snow, smiles and giggles idea better than being mugged, don’t you?

Today is sunny and I’m definitely looking forward to spring and the beauty and the smell of flowers. Umhum.
