Another Snow Day in Tiny Town

See the green things in the picture? Those are bushes. This was last night, so I'm not sure how it looked this morning. They shoveled before I could get a picture. I am not sure how much snow we got, but Ethan went out and measured in front of our door (which has an overhang and didn't have as much snow as the rest of the yard) and the last time he measured it was 7 inches. We were supposed to get 10 inches by midnight. There was so much snow that they canceled school last night.

On a happier note - they caught the guy who has been robbing area businesses. Apparently, his get away vehicle was a U-Haul truck. He and the woman who robbed the banks in fluorescent green pants should get together and teach others how to commit crimes inconspicuously, as they are the masters. Seriously. Who knew that they even made fluorescent pants anymore.

Kind of a sad story about the fluorescent pants woman, though. I guess she had been in county jail before, for stealing a fellow employees pay check (she worked at the library.) I guess she was so happy in jail that she didn't want to be released. She was, and her gambling habit reared its ugly head, causing her to rob banks. My bank, to be precise. There are two branches in Tiny Town and I guess she got both of them. How do I know this? Was it in the newspaper? On the local news? Noooo, silly. In Tiny Town you always know someone who knows the person. In fact, when you first meet people, you are often asked what your 'family name' is. That way they can tell if they like you or not.

A funny story about family names in Tiny Town - The woman from archery, the one I told you about the other day, she told me that her tall nephew did some work for someone and when told who to make the check out to said something like "You can't be a last name! All of the last names I know are this tall [short]!"


My patio this morning. Christian reminded me that the patios is slightly covered, so that is just what was able to reach the table. You can see the snow piled around the post.

Someone refresh my memory... when did I move to the UP??
