JanTri/Brand X Ranch had some fun with Photoshop today. Looks as though one of our HBOers was ready in Sophie this morning when the Bulgarians had an epiphany.

I love snow.  Truly.  But the berms on the sides of our driveway have grown so high that I had to plant warning flags on the crests to keep them from being hit by passing helicopters.  I chased a couple of mountaineers off of one yesterday.  Fortunately, one of them dropped his copy of Into Thin Air as he scrambled away over the lunar-looking landscape, so now I’ll have something to read today as we enjoy our fourth snow day of the year.  Yes, fourth/Katrina, Notes On A Napkin. More here.
