STUCK IN MY OWN HOUSE


When I was about to leave for the seminary this morning what a horrible surprise: our driveway was completely frozen.

Being an "expert" in snow as I am (considering that I came from one of the most hot cities in Brazil) I tried first to drive our car trough the snow and it obviously didn't work. Later we tried to water the snow out of the driveway, but it was too cold and it would take the whole Taylors water resource to remove the snow out of there. I finally used my vast hollywoodian knowledge (and all this with only one good leg) and concluded by remembering all American movies I’ve seen in the past that I should have a shovel to manually remove the snow out of the way and be able to drive to the seminary. When I realized that I just gave up. Entered home again and made myself some hot coffee.
Now I'm attending the History of Philosophy class using the seminary's internet conference system (thank's God it exists).

SNOW AT TAYLORS


Although the alert of iced storm in the Greenville area, the night was blessed with a nice snow fall.

The streets are already white, my car is also covered in snow. My neighbor Emilio and his young brother-in law(on the picture) came some minutes ago here in our house, shooting snow balls.

It is all very exciting.
