My socks are probably still drying out from our last storm and my parking lot was finally plowed on Tuesday. Fort Collins still has a mountain range of snow mounds all over town and stores are still sold out of shovels.
So, I ask, "are we ready for more?"
Ready or not, they say it is coming. And as I look out my window at 4:20 p.m. it appears "they" are right.
The one thing that really sticks out in my mind about the last storm is how everyone worked together.You couldn't go anywhere without seeing people stop to help push others who were stuck. A few kind strangers gave me a push and I returned the favor indirectly by helping push others.
Sure, there's still those jerks who have shovels and won't share. I say they can shove it. But there are also those people who will drive to the store to pick up extra shovels for neighbors who are shovel-less. Kudos to them.
Whether we like it or not, Mother Nature has another white blanketing gift for us. The least we can do is take a deep breath and lend a helping hand where a helping hand is needed.
Now as for me, I guess it is time to get home before the roads are too treacherous. I hope everyone else stays safe and warm!

A Frustaci Thing (24)
writen by: Erin
Life's little morsels of inspiration, observation and encouragement seen through the eyes of the Nextnc reporter.

|  | "Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth." | |
|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | Hola Amigos! I'm Sandra. I like to believe that people are 70 percent good and 30 percent dumb. I'm stickin to that story. Reading this blog might make you want to be good, but probably just dumb. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!

|  | Ms. Giles currently lives in Colorado where she stars in her own private reality show. She writes aphoristic accounts of her life, taken completely out of context, and embellished with characters and situations disguised to resemble something close to interesting. | |
|  | over and out | |
| | My name is Michelle Turley and I'm 28 years old. I live in Severance with my hubbie, Brandon. We have 2 dogs and a cat. We enjoy camping, four-wheeling, and just being in the mountains. I like to cook, clean (go figure), flea market, and play poker. I have so much to say about poker... | |
