Snow Day

So it snowed today in the greater Opelika/Auburn area ... and it was great.
My daughter loved it. My wife loved it. I, well, I was the one running through the snow and cold and ice to the car in the Wal-Mart parking lot, warming it up while my wife and kids waited inside. Fun times.

I learned something today, though. During a snow storm, stores sell out of a lot of things: Bread, water, heaters, milk, etc. Well, they also sell out of yogurt. Seriously.
My oldest daughter eats yogurt like she’s getting paid for it. So we hit the yogurt aisle like every week. Today it was empty. EMPTY! The only flavor that was left was just yogurt-flavored yogurt. Really. I didn’t know there was such a flavor, but there was. Kind of like water-flavored water and coffee-flavored coffee.

Anyway, I’m at the Auburn-Ole Miss basketball game and it’s tied 7-all with 15 minuets to play in the first half ... Tigers looked sluggish at first, but are coming around.

I’ll be back later ... be safe.
