And It's Cold Outside

In an effort to stave off the plowable snow they are/were predicting, I bought a snow shovel. So far it seems to have worked. I'm rather proud of myself with that little move. I want to go to the used book sale at the library today but wasn't even going to attempt it if it was snowing. 80 miles of mountain driving in blizzard conditions is not something that's high on my list of things to do.

In non-weather news, I finally got my WY license plates. Since I moved out here to get them, it's nice to finally have them on the truck. I debated asking for a vanity plate with E on it, but they're changing the plates soon and didn't want to pay for them twice in a year.

In order to get the plates, I had to jump through some annoying hoops. First, I had to have the police do a VIN inspection. So I called City Hall and asked them to send Wally to my office to do one. Wally's a nice enough guy, if not a little nosy. Are you married? Have you ever been married? How old are you? etc, etc, etc. Silly policeman. He's also not a fan of Lyman. I laughed because he was dead on in his reasons why. The Chief clearly has very little to do.
