Here we go again!Woke up to snow this morning and it has been snowing all day – again!

This is too much snow and too cold for my comfort. But the entire country has snow this week. Every U. S. state except Hawaii.

We don’t get much snow here and when we do it is an event. People panic and close schools, run to Kroger for groceries and buy a load of firewood from the guys in pickup trucks parked on the side of the road.

To be prudent, the school board allows 5 snow days each year to be built into the school calendar. Last year we did not use a single snow day. But this year, we have already used up all 5 and are going to have a 6th day tomorrow, which will have to be made up later this spring. And we still have 5 weeks of winter left to go!

Just saw a commercial for GEICO starring Charlie Daniels. It is one of their new series that starts with the questions, “Does GEICO save you money on car insurance?” And they answer with another questions, which leads into the rest of the commercial, “Does Charlie Daniels know how to fiddle?”

The rest of the commercial show Charlie playing his fiddle in great form, the bow is frayed and he finishes with a florish, saying, “That’s how it is done!”

I love Charlie Daniels and I’m tickled that he is doing this commercial for GEICO, even though I will never buy insurance from them again.

Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me.
