We finally got snow!!! We had a good snow and then it melted off during the day. But we had another storm come through and it snowed for two days. The kids have sure had a lot of fun. Carl, on the other hand, had to go to work. Fortunately, his employer has a deal with the hotel across I-40 which entitles employees to a $25 room rate during the snow season. Carl is sharing the room with Mike, our friend who just started at SCA. Carl called me this morning to tell me that they are now getting their room today AND tomorrow for free since they helped an elderly couple into their room. Apparently, the battery went dead on the card reader on their door and the woman couldn't get to her medication. The fire department wanted $1000 to bust down the door and they couldn't get a locksmith out. Carl and Mike just happened to have their tools with them and they dismantled the door, with the hotel manager's permission of course. What a life!
