It didn't snow today so I'm glad that my husband need not to wake up at 4 am to shove the snow outisde and at the C. Village complex. Although there is a company doing the plowing of snow at the parking area they do not remove the snow on the sidewalk where the residents walk to go to parking space where their vehicles are parked. For the past 16 years he was doing this shoving of snow and remove the snow out of the way and if the snow is higher than 4 to 5 inches of snow then got to help right? You know how heavy the snow is on a shovel? It's the same weight of sand and soil. Heavy! Hard work! Harder than cutting grass at the yard. Then you always have to be careful not to fall on the ground especially on concrete. The heaviest snowfall we had in the city was during the snowstorm of 2006 at the time when the movie "The Fountain" was screened at the local cinema. It was also the time when Uncle Jack died. It was snowing for so many hours and days. The snow stayed on the ground for two weeks. Husband and I have to remove the snow on the sidewalk, around the complex so many times, also to sprinkle industrial salt to prevent slip or accident. Seems to be the usual task during winter when there's snow.
The snow that was plowed went up high like a hill almost towering up to at least 15 ft. Highways have to be plowed too by different snow removal company to keep the traffic off the track and the easy flow of access to the roads, streets and corners. How much is too much snow? It is too much when it stop the movement of communication, access to all public and private works were put into delays and there's nothing you can do because there is zero visibility. I think that happened once in the island and all we can do is just stayed at home and keep ourselves warm in front of the chimney ( if you have just like santa Claus used to do hahah) ) gas stove, fireplace, but we had our electricity heating our home real good so we stayed warm as we could to protect ourselves from the very cold front.
Last night as I watched the last pit stop or finale of the Amazing Race, where Amy and her partner won the prize, and after conquering so many ups and downs, highs and lows this race is not just a race but an endurance, patience, agility, strong minds, and to be physically fit to the many hazards against the contestants. From hot, warm to cold climate in different parts of the world. The last pit stop was in Alaska where they managed to climb the iceberg and see what's beneath the iceberg. Water leaking from beneath trapped by giant iceberg... hopefully the iceberg wont melt instantly but gradually, slowly to ease the tension of global warming.
What if Marie and her partner win the contest, what could be the result? Will they get married again, reunited or divorce or set free each other from all the obligations of being married? They won in Japan Pit Stop but arrived second at the last pit stop in Alaska.
They should work for National Geographic. Or maybe they are National geographic members and staff doing inspection and what could be the best work for them? Journalist and photographers. Or people who worked for film industry have to find out where the best place on Earth they can shoot films to be used for cinematography, for cinematographic purposes for a certain movie. It could be the place where THE LAST AIRBENDER was filmed who knows eh?
After the famous TV Show had it, the new movie of Matrix hero was on our TV screen, Keanu Reeves fighting with shaolins in his new latest action movie 47 RONIN. My daughter was awestruck with the movie trailer, knowing she likes Matrix and action-filled movie that has similarity with his favorite Yu-gi-oh then she told me she wants to watch it.
There's a movie I want to watch the "Catching Fire" of Jennifer Lawrence. Or maybe have to watch it through VOD instead. They should have it on DVD right away just in time for Christmas because not too many watch in the moviehouse or cinema you know since the popularity of wide screen TV becomes in demand.
