Passed the book back to WLToo. Sigh. That was the most complicated editing job I've done in years. But it's done, and now we can get on with the business of decorating the tree, cleaning house, and preparing for all the Christmas company.
It snowed in the Hill Country (and in San Antonio). Thursday evening, as we headed home from the big city, the rain kept getting fluffier and fluffier. Honest to Santa - it was snow, coming down so thick that it was very difficult to see. Now add the fact that it only snows in San Antonio once every 25 years or so, and you have the ingredients for instant chaos.
Yup. The big hills we could have traversed just fine, if not for the people who panicked, stopped at the bottom of the hill, and then naturally couldn't get up the next one. We pulled off the main highway and went a back road home. Still took us three hours to get home, but we did so with zero issues. Next morning, woke up to 3-4" of snow and ice. Good thing we didn't have to go anywhere. Most of it melted today, and it was a gorgeous day.
Spotacus went outside several times, for five minutes or less. He simply could not figure out what was going on out there. He's turning into a pretty good inside cat, actually, except when he wants to play while I'm working... How very "cat" of him.
The deer herd seemed rather puzzled over the snow. I did notice some of the younger ones pawing at it, then bouncing around -- I think they were playing. It was cute.
Spotacus wants me to go to bed, so he can take my chair. Night, y'all.
