More snow overnight, but it's pretty much all melted again. Any snow I don't have to shovel and doesn't make my drive hazardous, is just fine with me. Means more saved water in the mountains and a reservoir against drought this summer.
Got some fresh beets this week, so I'm eating beets and yoghurt now. Figured out to boil beets in the microwave, takes about 17 minutes, and they turn out exactly right. Same as I do potatoes.

Well, yes, it seemed likely, jerk.
"Living in fear now!"
No, taking proper precautions.
Had to avoid him several times in the store, until he dropped his raspberries under his cart and around his feet.
Thinking about people who never get past their adolescent invincibility phase, mostly men I suspect. Not all. I never had that particular delusion, but I've seen it often enough.
