Quote:Did you by any chance see the news clip of a competitive swimmer somewhere in the D.C. area who stood outside and stripped to his Speedo and then took a dive face-first into his snow-filled swimming pool? How many ways can you say "dumb?"

My neighbor's 17 year old son did a similar thing Saturday - I saw the kid run out of his house onto the deck and race around the yard for two laps in the blizzard with nothing on but a pair of Speedos.....what a nut!

Shoveled my car out - it took about an hour just to sweep off the car, but it started like a charm (new battery.) Still haven't shoveled the drive - a friend of mine who has a truck with a plow is going to do that for me. I've never seen snow this deep in my 62 years of life....I'm 5'9" and it's over my knees and up to my thigh in places where it drifted. We got about 18 to 20 inches.

Roads around here are still unplowed and will probably remain so for a few days. I can't tell where my yard ends and the road begins in front of my house. Interstate 64 was still a mess last I heard.....
