Holy Cow (eieio) ! talk about a rapid change in the weather ! This morning ,sometime around 5 AM ,I woke up to this strange little sound , a faint irregular kinda beep. We are watching our Grand Daughter Kellyn and sleeping in the master bedroom with a different type of alarm clock. So, my thoughts are that this is how someone wakes up without bothering the other guy....Cool ! I lay there for awhile and this sound ,ever so faint, continues and Im beginning to think Stel is not going to wake up to get Kellyn ready for school. Now Gracie is on the bed and begins to do her usual morning lick job I wana git out in dog talk( the only foreign language I understand).I wait some more with nothing happening, so I give Stel a nudge with my foot and get results. Stel hits the alarm button and shuts that annoying little noise off, gets up, and heads for the kitchen to get ,first, the coffee going( sure as hell better, since I have been spoiled for the past 39+ years and I dont want to feel put out ). Aaah! Peace, I think I actually will sleep in, this up at 5 is not my cup of tea. Gracie too , settles down while Im thinking she really must have to go outside and do her morning constitution with all the amendments included. I say to myself She doesnt usually go out until 0630 or so , so wait dog . Right now your a dog ,not Gracie ,I dont have to go so whats your problem. Everything seems to be going along just fine now and Im beginning to go back into one of my many nightly dreams ,which in themself are pretty neat stories to tell although senseless . All of a sudden, as load as the alarm clock can possibly be, GOOD MORNING FOLKS ,ITS FIVE THIRTY ON A BEAUTIFUL TUESDAY MORN, ITS 48 DEGREES AND IT ISNT SNOWING LIKE THEY SAID IT WOULD Now Im clear over on the far side of this huge bed with a dog pinning the blankets down so I cant roll over and turn this damn radio/clock off that just keeps blasting away. By this time , Im fully awake, the dog is jumping around I gotta go, I gotta go and some how I make over to the clock. Its dark in the room and this clock has more buttons on it than a space ship and I really dont want to screw up something and make Kellyn somehow late tomorrow. So I have to actually get up and turn the light on , which pretty much totally wakes me up. While Im doing this , that clock is still blasting me with news and other stuff that Im really not interested in . All I want do do is get that racket turned off. However, even when the lights are on I cant find the right button since my glasses are on the other side of the bed. Now Im not going over on the other side of the bed with Gracie rolling around on her back with all four legs in the air. Im not going around the end of the bed because there is a fancy chest of drawers with a pointy edge at one corner of its top such that it almost ripped my shoulder off a few nights before when I went by it in haste. So.... I just bit the bullet and started pushing buttons. Hooray! The damn thing shut up. I get dressed and head into the kitchen to see if the coffee is finished perking ( dripping or what ever you call it nowadays). There is Stel who turns and says in this sweet little voice,What are you doing up, dear,honey,handsome(something to that affect) Duh ! ...So I got my iPad and played Sink the Bismarck , Battling Banjos, and a few other oldies to wake everyone else up. Oh yeh, also let the dog out who by this time has her legs crossed and more or less shuffles out of the house. Now its about 0830 and the temperature has dropped from 48 degrees to perhaps less the 37 degrees, the wind is blowing, its snowing ,and about an inch has been laid down in Sparks, Nv. I can just barely see a couple of houses away but the airliners are still coming in on final approach. I sure hope they know where they are going. Kellyn just called to inform us that school might be let out for the day at 10am. It looks like a real Noreaster at the moment. Hey! It dont look like Oroville outside (which is where Im suppose to be now). Its starting to look like Im going to go get Kellyn,like it or not. I just saw a car go by the house with the fluffy snow sticking to the tires and Stel is not a expert snow driver such as I . This has to be all kinds of fun in Reno.
