Memory Day: Snapshots

This picture was taken 14 years ago today, on February 7, 2010.

It was the day after a massive snowstorm that dropped 23" of wet snow on us, the shoveling of which destroying my back and gave me a cold that caused me to miss two simultaneous Super Bowl parties. Between our own shoveling and the industrial tractor that drove down our street, we had a bulwark 4 feet high along our curb, protecting us from infidels and common decency.

Rebecca still worked for a T-shirt company at the time, and was always wearing cast-off returns or clothes with printing errors on them. This storm was big enough that the company had to embrace telework for a couple days and Rebecca got to sit at home with Booty, appeasing customers wondering why their T-shirts had gotten delayed.

We would also have another blizzard 5 days later that would actually cause my parents' carport to collapse on top of their empty car!
