Arnold, don't cut library funds!

I got a great day of skiing in at Heavenly yesterday and managed afterwards to stay away from the casinos. I don't think there will be a second chance on this trip, afterall, I'm now on a fixed income...

The snow started falling late last night, probably 4-5 inches. Eight more inches of snow fell this morning. I slept in late, and eased into the shower. What?! No hot water? What an outrage! How could this be, there is no one else here. I took a luke-warm shower and decided to check the thermostat on the hot water heater. The only problem was that the water heater is behind a huge pile of snow off the back deck.

Having a lot of free time on this day, I dug out the hot tub, then the hot water heater. After contorting my body to get in the shed around the water heater, I found the setting somewhere between "low" and "C". I cranked it up to "C". Ahhh, hot water is a good thing.

I thought about skiing this afternoon after it stopped snowing, but I would get to Kirkwood too late to make it worthwhile. Then I decided to try to find an internet cafe to check e-mail and post my blog. But no luck. Then Jeff called me and suggested I try the local library. What a great idea! South Lake Tahoe's public library has nine PC's with pretty quick internet access.

Now time for a few beers. The rest of the weekend ski gang gets in late tonight.
