Ready for the Storm

We're ready.  It's 3:20 a.m. and we're waiting for the rain to turn to snow.  The guys are snoozing in Gerardo's living room until they get my call.  I've been up since 2:00.  Well, really since midnight, on and off.  I went to bed yesterday at four in the afternoon.  Christy and the kids are so mindful about not making too much noise.

We are going to salt the parking lots, etc. before the snow starts, but we have to time it just right.  We don't  want the rain to wash it away.  It's hard when the snow starts in the early morning because we can't clear it before the business day starts.  But at least I got plenty of sleep.

Well, it never did snow here in the valley.  We stayed up all night for nothing.  We're so dedicated.

We didn't even put any salt down.  I always feel kinda weird salting parking lots anyway, and we try to use as little as possible.  It can't be that good for our environment, but I tell myself that it came from here, just a few miles downstream in the Great Salt Lake.  We're in the salt capital of the world, for cryin' out loud.  Still, we don't like to do it if we don't have to.
