Have I said before that I LOVE Texas?

Today I got to go home at 2pm. All the schools and businesses were getting shut down, mainly because snow and sleet were falling and temperatures were dropping.

It was great! Actually, the getting home part is the part that wasn’t so great. I was not prepared for this whatsoever, and had to scrape ice and snow off my windshield with an a day-old Sonic wrapper while being pelted with sleet. Driving home was also a trip, seeing as everyone on the freeway was only going 30 mi./hr. and there were already 6 inch deep tire ruts developing in the sludge.

The good part came when Jesse’s classes at UD were also canceled and we got to spend the afternoon and evening together, watching Buffy, making cookies and ordering a vegetarian pizza.

Despite the fact that there was record snowfall today in Dallas, that wasn’t even the weirdest thing I saw. As I was driving home, I actually saw an full-sized jet airplane wing being carted by a huge freighter truck down the middle of the freeway. It was at least 15 cars long. Now THAT’S something you don’t see every day!
