Reading about the two feet of snow that has just inundated much of the east coast... brought to mind a silly story from my past... that I thought I would share.
There I was... about twenty years ago... a Realtor in Mentor, Ohio. It has snowed overnight... about two feet... and for some reason, I had left my car in the driveway the night before.
I had some things I had to do... but... rather than get into a freezing car, I ran out, opened the car door and started the engine... and turned on the heater and the blower. Then I went back inside to wait until it warmed up.
You prolly can guess what happened. Something came up... and I forgot all about the car warming up. It must have been about eight hours later that I remembered.
So... I hurriedly went outside to make sure someone had not stolen the car... and found that it had indeed become nice and toasty warm... right up until the moment it ran out of gas.
So there I was... out of gas in my own driveway. Ahhh... the joys of winter combined with being distracted very easily.
Enjoy your two feet of snow... and if you start up your car to get it all toasty warm... I hope your memory is better than mine was. :)
