ARCTIGEDDON 2008
It's Arctigeddon 2008 here in Portland this week, bringing a plethora of snow/wind/freezing rain to the city. Usually I'd be content in the basement playing video games and dorking out on my computer but I really wanted to eat tacos tonight. I spent a good 45 minutes de-icing my car and digging out the snow around it. My car was unable to move without chains so I busted out my brand new Les Schwab chains (that I stood an hour in line to purchase) and slapped those puppies on. Then I was off kicking ass to Fred Meyer's to get me some tortillas. I put the ol' Golf into a snow bank in the parking lot for safe keeping, my brother stayed in the car to defrost his frostbitten toes while my beautiful wife and I ran inside to retrieve the fruit of the gods (tortillas). Those were the best tacos I've ever had. Tonight we made our way to the library to wait for rescue. We're currently collecting books from Oprah's book club that are good for burning in an attempt to stay warm, Kristy has an infected cut that needs medicine. My brother told me about a ship that ran aground not far from here that has the medicine we need. I hope there aren't any viscious wolves aboot like the one pictured above. Wish us luck, we're going to need it.
