snow storm 3.16.07

aftermath of snow storm on 3.16.07 fri

i seem to have a penchant of taking pictures of bicycles. took quite a few when i was in switzerland last year. lukas informed me then bikes in switzerland have number plates. well, stickers at the back of the bikes, heh.

thought that this shot was taken rather tastefully, though it did not protray the snow storm the day before much. it was BAD. i worked from home and had wanted to stay in for the whole day. but it was marion's bday party at night and having accepted the invitation, i dint think it will be courteous to reject it. moreover, i was trying to expand my network and i was surprised, and of course pleased that she invited me. we had developed a bond during the nicaragua trip.

it was indeed like an expedition to her place. a journey that would have taken 30-40 min on a normal day turned out to be a 2.5hrs trip. by then, the streets were covered with snow, nothing but snow. having snowed since morning. woah and the wind was freaking strong. each step that i took, the snow reached up to 1/3 of my calf. saw no one. i started screaming quietly to god that he ll save me bwwwah. upon arrival at my destination, i gave her a tight squeeze and declared, "MARION, i love you so much to come this far!!"it was a pleasant evening, good enough to make up for things. and there was a new member to the family- haze. he should be appearing in my subsequent blogs.
