    If it was really a snow plow, it shouldn't be that hard for the police to find a damaged one in the area...

    Tal, the actual steel plow hit it, and those things are pretty tough - it shredded the metal of my friend's car, but it looks like the guy just clipped him. Who knows. But if the police don't pick up the damn phone, how can they find the guy? It should also be easy because the city should know who was out and about at that time - a lot of snowplows have GPS, or at least the company should have a log of who drives which plow.

    I'm off to France tomorrow for work. I get there Sunday morning, spend the day traveling to Ales, work three days and go back home on Thursday morning. I've never been to France -- it sucks that I'll not be able to take some time to enjoy the area.

    My anniversary is on Saturday. If there are problems on Thursday, I can still come home Friday. If I'm delayed past Saturday I'm just planning on staying in France and joining the Legionnaires -- it will be far less painful than missing the anniversary.

    Why don't you surprise her and buy her a ticket for Thursday to the area of France you are in; then you two crazy kids make a weekend in France for your anniversary? Someone could watch the kids for a few days, no?

    Unfortunately, no. There is no one who is available to watch the kids and Mrs Bruno refused the eight hour flight.

    Wow I've forgot how awesome Civilization V was in an online game with friends. This is going to be a tough fight, my enemy's military forces are roughly the same strength as mine. I do have more ally though.

    Rode the 17 km back from work on my bike again the first time this year, in -4°C. Glorious, except for the cold. Having not worn long johns, I probably just escaped freezing my a** off. God was I cold when I arrived. And having not worn glasses, I had bloodshot eyes from the cold air.

    Warmth Good! Food Good! Sleep Good!

    Argue with that.

    [​IMG] I thought it was Sunday tomorrow :xx:

    Neuropathy got to the point where on Friday I turned to my drug drawer and went "Well I know they made me a bit sleepy last time..."

    Somehow forgot the part where it's taken me not being allowed to lie down and having to put music on and have Kev shake me every few minutes to stay awake :lol:

    Moving to make good on my new years resolutions to do more sports, I got myself a new pair of running shoes, and a high-vis yellow running/bike jacket (Montane Featherlite, if anyone is interested).

    The latter is a long standing priority anyway, since I really prefer to be seen when running or riding my bike.

    We are looking at possibly 2 feet of snow here tonight. Unfortunately, it is going to drop to -9 overnight on Wednesday night. So no snow forts to build with the kids. My father-in-lw does have a nice zero-turn with plow/blower hooked up to the front, so at least I get to play a bit.;)

    We had some snow also, less than a centimetre, so it won't be keeping me from using my bike.
    Except for that, I am tired, just got up and will go to work soon - but my coffee is still to hot to drink.

    It was a bad idea to take the bike. It's a b*tch to drive on slippery streets.
