Storm Watch 2011! – Motor Racing Edition

Snowy ridgeline. Friends,

I was supposed to head to the desert early this morning to see the vintage auto racing at the new Chuckawalla Valley Raceway in Desert Center. Unfortunately, something happened overnight…

Fun game: find the teensy little car! A foot and a half of snow fell on my little town and buried the cars. This wouldn’t be too tough to deal with except the local government hadn’t yet plowed the road, so I called off the trip.

Taken after the plows arrived. With the ice and snow on the ground and the new brakes I installed only yesterday, I wasn’t sure that traveling off the hill was a good idea.

Chilly forest time. Was watching the Daytona 500 on teevee a good substitute? Not at all.

Sticky. But the neighborhood is very pretty today.

Your pal,

bob
