The Wrath of Mother Nature

I worked from home today.

My lovely wife, who is not feeling well, did not.

We are in a high wind warning, after a day of snowfall.

Which is why I just went out to shovel the driveway and opened up the garage door to a scene of whipping horizontal sheets of white, slowly revealed to me by the ponderously rising door, reminding me of nothing so much as a Star Trek shuttlebay door opening onto a spinning nebula.

I was hugely tempted to walk out into the howling wind, raise my arms, and shout, THIS IS CETI ALPHA FIVE!

Sigh.
