oh, no - waking to painted white

Snow and ice, fairly slippery; supposed to turn to rain. The chickens and I don't like getting out into this stuff! I heard someone (with a microphone stuck into his car window in Kansas) say, "this is for Christmas, not now!" Got that right; of course, snow is not unseen here in April. grrrrr My adaption tools are getting dull. And I am fed up with the VA legislature. Looks like they are slapping an annual fee of $100 on hybrid cars, while cancelling the gasoline tax and raising the sales tax along with fees on wholesale gas and diesel.
