Yes, just when we think it couldn’t get much worse, the last 24 hours have brought further news that warrants a part III of this saga.

The last thing we did before going to bed last night was look out the window at the small snow blizzard forming outside. We had just finished watching Bruce Almighty, and Bruce’s rant to God (”the gloves are off pal, smite me oh smitey one”) seemed strangely appropriate.

 We fell asleep both silently praying for a downpour of rain to melt away the snow.

So naturally, we woke up to find that it had snowed another foot since that last peak out of the window the night before.

We give in, there are obviously powers at play which we as mere mortals cannot hope to control. Is this happening for a reason? Maybe, maybe not. Our only explanation is that it’s the beginning of our campaign and it is gently reminding us to not fall into our comfort zone (either that or we are finally getting our come-uppance for bad things we may have done in a previous life).

In about 1 hours time we will be making the lonely walk to the garage to see if the van is ready. It is a walk which has greeted us only with bad news so far (and we’ve made the walk 7 times up to this point).

We know the answer before we even head down - the weather is going to have prevented the part from being delivered. We bet what remains of our sanity on that…
