Haiku

branch burdened with snow long winter we wait “Storm of the Century” Minneapolis, Minnesota 12/11/10 5:10 pm “Roads Closed”…… City Plows pulled off the streets! “White-Out” Blizzard! I walked ½ block to the indoor track and it was like walking towards a runaway freight- train!

ahhh, giving the feeling of all that snow piled on. Yes, it's a bad winter all around from what I hear. Very good, James!

Smile ~ Quite a storm system bearing down upon much of the country my dear friend &, one can only feel for those whom find themselves caught amid such adverse elements as these blizzards etc. yet, "Your Gifted Poetic Hand Created An Adams From It All; 'Kudos On The Up'" ~ "Love Always," John! ~ Smile, "Have A Very 'Blessed & Beautiful Tomorrow My Dear Friend, Amid The Snowdrifts of A Souls Warmth; 'Love;' Bye!":) ~

I hope that you don't get lost in the white-out..Probably got more exercise going there and then coming back home than when inside the indoor track...Enjoyed ..I heard about this a little on the news..Sara
