FOUR FOR FRIDAY (will return on Dec. 31st)

In observation of Christmas Eve Day and my inability to concentrate on account of preparing for a trip back east, the Four For Friday will not appear today but will return next Friday, December 31. For now though, this picture tells a story about the weather we've been having here in Indianapolis. From my bedroom window looking down onto the corner of 9th and Penn:

Parts of central Indiana received between 7 and 24 inches of snow over the last 48 hours, causing many businesses to close on Thursday, including the one I work for. But true to form, neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow could stop the U.S. Postal Service from doing its job. This mailman and his delivery vehicle became stuck while trying to navigate the corner below my window. Someone eventually went down with a shovel and helped the poor fella free his truck from the intersection.

As of 4:00 p.m. yesterday afternoon, my parking lot hadnít even been plowed, which meant that there was no way that I could head up to the north side of town for my last night as Santaís helper at The Fashion Mall. I left a ëniceí message for my property management company asking them to plow the parking lot so those of us who have to go to the airport or back to work could actually do so. Iím headed out the door right now for the airport, so I guess Iíll see if that message got thru to anyone.

Hereís wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and relaxing weekend!
