She had a walk similar to Slywy, and... missed the bus a lot. Something about priorities. *cough* Aaanyways, after having lived around entirely too many normal people, it doesn't surprise me when people will shortcut things to the level of absurdity.Tirsden Frozenraynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16492437555294421962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000645807446741254.post-15589239853318836462009-12-12T22:41:53.450-05:002009-12-12T22:41:53.450-05:00Slywy, I used to wait at the bus stop in all weath...Slywy, I used to wait at the bus stop in all weather, too. But my walk was a lot less than yours -- just one suburban house away.<br /><br />Ribbon, up until this week, it felt like a walk-in refrigerator outside. But now it's more like a walk-in freezer.<br /><br />Our neighbor's driveway is twice as long as ours, perhaps 100 meters. But some parts are gravel, and it probably is hard to walk on when it's covered with packed snow.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Square Peg Guyhttp://square--peg.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000645807446741254.post-4297644239444121272009-12-11T19:31:32.944-05:002009-12-11T19:31:32.944-05:00It's difficult for me to imagine the cold that...It's difficult for me to imagine the cold that you are talking about as it's something I've never experienced.<br />I'm imagining that you have very long driveways and that's why one would drive to catch a bus at the end of it.<br />I'm only a few steps to the street.<br />It's also a predicted 39 degrees celcius here at present :) hot, hot hot!<br /><br /><br />I can appreciate what you're saying about your neighbour... <br /><br />best wishes for the festive season<br />Ribbonxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600470311819511684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000645807446741254.post-59880889658676633732009-12-10T11:43:58.664-05:002009-12-10T11:43:58.664-05:00Funny.

My dad, the only driver, was at work, so that was what I had to do. Big whoop. I lived.Slywyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424323662407341123noreply@blogger.com
