The One Where the World Ended -- Photo of the Week 21 Dec 09
>> 22 December 2009
Sorry on the delay for PotW. I was too busy having my senses and mind blown away by Avatar 3-D.
You've all heard of the snowstorm that buried the DC Metropolitan area, no doubt. 20 inches of snow is impressive.
Winter Wonderland? For most, probably. But Josh M was trying to leave the area Friday night to go snowboarding and he described the scene that greeted him on the roadways as being "like the end of the world." I asked him if he saw John Cusack flying a small plane. He said no, but cars were strewn all along the sides of the road, driverless. Low visibility. Oh, and this:
Other accounts from friends described grocery stores as picked completely clean of all milk, eggs, and bread (apparently french toast is the choice of the snowed-ins); gas stations with no regular unleaded left. Because that's how we roll in the nation's capitol and its adjacent suburbs: Panicked, overreactive, and expecting the worst.
Happy short week, everyone.
3 ideas preached:
That is a really bad day. My dad's car caught on fire on the freeway, once. I was shocked. I mean, he spent $400 on that car!
French toast, that's great.
20 inches of snow, eh? I wish we'd get that much out here. Mostly we get the wussy kind that falls and doesn't stick these days. It'll all come in Jan and Feb when I'm ready for heat!
