16/Feb/17 we were having an easy Winter, until this week

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

Do you like to nap?  This is what I look like when I am looking at you when you are laying down.

It's snowing again.  The Big Guy went and got more gas for his lawn tractor/snow blower.  It certainly does move a lot of snow.  Otherwise, they certainly wouldn't be parking in the back yard like they do.  I think that they would be parking the car at the top of the driveway and just leaving it there.

Each time the Big Guy sees the snow plow goes by, he tells the same story, over and over again.  I remember when we lived in Winnipeg.  First the city would plow the street and of course, they would put the snow in your driveway.  Just like the rest of Canada.  Then another set of equipment would come along and take that snow OUT of your driveway and put it on your front lawn.  We had to pay a little bit more taxes, but it was worth it.  

Blah blah blah, I've heard this story like a million times now.

So school is closed again today.  

School was closed on Monday, due to the upcoming blizzard.  

Tuesday, school was closed, well, because of the blizzard.  (Good call on that one)  

Yesterday the schools were closed, because not every school was dug out from the blizzard.  

Now, today it's snowing again, and school is going to be closed.  

Not so sure about tomorrow.  

Monday is a Civic holiday, so guess what...  yup, school is closed again.   

Then, I heard that the teachers are going to be on strike, starting when?  Tuesday, when the kids should be back in school.

It's been a rough week for those parents that treat school like a babysitter.

On other news...  The Big Guy broke his rule about only getting weighed on Fridays.  390.8.  He rounded up to 10 pounds off since his new way of eating.  I am really happy for him.

Bye bye for now.
