Travel can be so dangerous. Sorry you had to go out, but it seemed fairly quiet for you. Hope you got home before dark. Funny, but here people go to the mall in the summer when it's so hot so as to have a cool place to hang out. Hadn't thought of going some place like that to stay warm, but it makes sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-84779733742066147142014-01-06T19:42:02.655-06:002014-01-06T19:42:02.655-06:00Sorry you had to work while everyone else had a sn...Sorry you had to work while everyone else had a snow day. :( At least it didn't seem overly taxing, so that always helps!<br /><br />Last year, my school stayed open while all the others had closed due to snow and ice. I was unable to attend because the freeway I take to get there was closed due to excessive ice and dangerous conditions. The school apologized a few days later, saying they really should have closed too.sprinkleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081967372702276914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320167217139525439.post-25890262289410033552014-01-06T19:07:13.070-06:002014-01-06T19:07:13.070-06:00Malls were a topic of tonight's local news. Re...Malls were a topic of tonight's local news. Reporters went to local malls to cover families bringing their cabin fevered kids to the mall. (We have two days of closed schools on top of two weeks of winter break!). The malls were deserted. People stayed home to stay warm. And safe, as driving to the mall obviously was no "walk in the park."Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.com
