Snow

This was the view from my front door this morning.

Snow.

I'm sitting on the bus and watching as it slides sideways every time it brakes.

And I'm realizing that my first order of business in the next couple of days will need to be the purchase of a pair of winter boots. Last year's pair finally gave up, with holes in both soles that made for cold wet feet. And facing a winter of commuting on foot and by bus without boots doesn't seem plausible. So, boot shopping it will be.

At least it's a genuine excuse to buy shoes!
