Hello everybody

Just thought I would put up this post. As you probably know, today is the day of the Vernal Equinox. That means, it's now officially Spring on the calendar. However, in North Carolina, we've been getting Spring time weather this past week. So, all is good here.

Well, speaking of North Carolina, the UNC Basketball team squeaked by to pull a victory over Harvard. I mean, UNC was favored like 5-1 over Harvard. We should have CRUSHED them. But instead, we barely won. I hope they don't make that same mistake in the next round of March Madness.

Also, I know there is a Solar Eclipse scheduled for today. Yes, an eclipse right on the Vernal Equinox. How often does that happen? Unfortunately, it will not be visible from North Carolina. So, I will not be able to see it. And it looks like I may not be able to see it anyway because it's currently cloudy here in NC. Well, that's all for now.

Oh no, AAAAHHH! JASON!!! You know what that means.

Yes, people, it's back the the second month in a row. It's...DUN DUN DAH...FRIDAY THE 13! Yes, back for the second month in a row. Scary, wouldn't you say? Another day of such awful bad luck. Please do not come across any black cats. Do not walk under ladders, don't open umbrellas in the house, and YES, YES, YES, I cannot emphasize this enough but DO NOT BREAK ANY MIRRORS!!!! If you do, the bad luck WILL be 13 times greater. Please find some horse shoes or a four leaf clover. But here it is for the second month in a row, FRIDAY THE !#!!!





PS, Yes, this was supposed to be entertainment. I don't really believe in these superstitions. 

I guess I can say happy March

However, it doesn't feel like March, or even like Spring for that matter. In fact, here in the Northern Hampshire it's been cold. In North Carolina, where I live, we have even been having snow and ice. All I know is, I'm ready for Spring and the Vernal Equinox is just 19 days away. I hate cold weather!

Well, here are some pictures I've taken on my "snow day."

Being that I had no work or class today because of the snow. My dad wanted me to help him shovel the driveway. I think piled up at least four inches (10.16 cm for those of you in the world who go by metric measurements). This was supposed to be a photo to show how thick it was. I know it get much thicker in many places of the world, but we don't have plowing and salting services in North Carolina because they are not cost efficient here. We don't get enough snow for that. Most schools were closed today, like mine, New Horizons. Most work offices were closed. However, mine was open, but if you were like me, and didn't feel comfortable driving in the snow, you were excused. And being that I am surrounded by back roads, I didn't. Snow accumulates worst on back roads. The shoveling took three hours. 

This is our driveway after we got done. 

More of our driveway after we got done, especially this is where pull our cars out of. 

Even created a giant snow hill. Well, it looks like tomorrow I will be back to work. I think odds are I will be working both jobs. I know that tonight they said it will ice over. However, I think by the time work starts the roads should be all right. But that's my assumption. I'm indicating tomorrow, it's gonna be business as usual. 

Now, the snow has started.

The winter storm is here now. I'm gonna be stuck now.

By the way..

How's my selfie? I hope the Charlotte Hornets beat the Chicago Bulls tonight. It would make for UNC's loss to NC State in NCAA Basketball last night. I only hope my NBA team will win tonight. 

Well, us North Carolinians are about to prepare for another attack from Old Man Winter.

And, YES, this is what happens when a major wintery storm comes mixed with snow and ice. And people generally buy milk and bread. But they are predicting a bad winter storm tonight. Many schools are already cancelled. I was waiting WAY in the back of the beer and wine section at a Harris Teeter on the outskirts of Durham (not the HT I work at). But I had to wait about a good 20 minutes to check out. But this was the line to use the U-scan (self check out lane). Being one who's indicating I will not have work or school tomorrow, I got myself some Boboli bread, tomato sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese to make a Boboli pizza for lunch tomorrow. But seriously, Boboli bread makes arguably the best pizza crust. It's going to be DELICIOUS! 
However, the store was just so busy, I couldn't find a cart initially, or even a basket. There were lines for regular check out that went into the aisles! busy just didn't do the situation justice. The store was SLAMMED SHUT!! There was a gentleman who wanted to put things in my cart so he didn't have to hold his items while waiting to checkout. The store was a mad house! Well, I got all the stuff I need for the winter storm.
