Santa drives a fire truck (in fact he went by when I was washing my bike).

Snow? Ice? What are those things? Today the high was in the high 70s. I rode my motorycle in a tshirt. And when I was washing my bike outside (in jeans and a tshirt) I was starting to sweat, and I had to rinse it halfway through because the soapy water was starting to dry on it (I was in the sun).

Of course, it's kind of hard to ski here. And a white Christmas is pretty much just a song. Around here, Santa drives a fire truck (in fact he went by when I was washing my bike).

I hope you were a good girl and waved when he went by...

Well, it has become a moot point for this weekend, since we now have more snow, and therefore a new layer of salt on the roads. Next is single digits tonight, then maybe rain later this week? Midwest weather - you never know what will happen next.

Also, regarding beet juice. Is this something else we have to worry about? Is it harmful to our cars? I have never heard of this before.

Sounds like the best bet is to hope for rain to wash away the salt (and any beet juice), and then maybe I can get my fix. I REALLY miss driving her.
