February 20, 2021 Is it Here Yet?

It’s 4:00 am. “Hey Siri, what’s the temperature?” “I’m on it. Just a sec. It’s -33 degrees outside. With a 10 percent chance of rain.” “Holy crap. That’s worse than Texas.” I reply. “That’s not nice.” He scolds.

As I do every morning I step out to look at the sky. The lights are out. I layer on clothes. The lights cover a large swatch of the sky dancing, bouncing and swirling.

It remains in the minus double digits until 2:30. At -9, off I go. When I “run” people stop and ask me if there’s something wrong. So I decided to make a sign to put on my back. It says:

I didn’t realize that this looks like some guy is chasing me. l’ll bet it’s Tomkat.

Getting something delivered here is a challenge, But figuring out how to get it once it’s here is an even bigger problem. Last night when my landlord was at the terminal, he saw a package I was expecting to get last Monday. It was with the big shipment It’s a UPS deliver. Tomkat posted on the board of disappointment that UPS would deliver this afternoon. They do actually deliver to your house. Which means they take a snow machine around town with the deliveries in the sled. It’s 8:30 PM, and he hasn’t arrived. Should I put a candle in the window for Tomkat?
