sunday morning...

i sit here with my big woolly socks and coffee freshly poured. the mountain through the window in front of me, covered in snow, white and glistening in the mid-morning sun, entices me. i would like to climb to the top of it today, and look out upon the valley, watch the train rumble on, the puffs of smoke puffing, keeping houses warm this -25 morning. 

today is sunday and i only "have" to do a couple things. none of which i feel like doing. yesterday while traveling down a road i had never been down, i rounded the corner only to find that the road came to an abrupt end. the one hundred feet the remained was glare ice, my brakes we're no good, and i am lucky that the snow bank at the end was angled, or i would have lost more then my bumper. i was pissed off. i still am. there were no signs that would have lead me to believe that the road ended, the last sign that i saw was the 50km/hour sign just a ways back. so today i have to drive back out there, again, and confirm that in fact there were no signs. doing so will give me a leg to stand on when monday morning i call that person who is responsible for things like this, and tell them them that they will pay for my new bumper. 

i don't want to go out. i don't even really want to drive my car. but whats the saying, "get right back on the horse"?. really, i came out of the whole scene rather unscathed, just missing a bumper. but i've never had anything like this happen, ever. i feel stupid, like i should have known better. but how could i? but whats done is done. 

that's really the only thing that i have to do. i would like to go out and take pictures as well. the day is lovely beyond words, and schooner would be on cloud nine. but at this point, sitting in the sun, drinking my hot coffee, listening to CBC radio is feeling pretty darn lovely.
