Cold November Snow

As much as I loathe winter and cold weather, The Ranch and its immediate environs makes for a Winter Wonderland.  Waking up last Monday morning, this scene (below) greeted me outside my bedroom window:

 
 

Next, I checked out the West 40 (below):



Oddly enough, there was a similar scene looking southbound:



Thankfully, it took but one hour to shovel the drive and most of the snow melted by the weekend.

On Saturday night we had a spaghetti dinner in honor of Mr B's 81st birthday (which, factually, was not Saturday).  Afterward, heading back to The Ranch, I once again rocked out to one of the great unknown Pete Townshend songs on the Jeep Main Battle Tank's SatComm system:



In a Groundhog Day turn of events, "Slit Skirts" is the closing track on Townshend's 1982 solo album All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes.  This is a strikingly similar coincidence to last week's HA posting in which I highlighted Townshend's "Gonna Get Ya," which itself is the final track on Pete's 1980 solo album Empty GlassChinese Eyes is a sneaky-good album, even its rejects are good.

Roll the credits!
