I remember walking past a bank somewhere in Wyoming (Thermopolis?) which was being extended.
A workman was measuring some wood and called to a colleague: 'Forty seven and five eighths'. I felt quite at home.

Of course you did, any civilized person would.

I'm irritated by my irritation this morning. I got up and dressed to plow the driveway but Dad was already on the job running the snowblower at low rpm and 6-8" off the ground. So he basically skimmed a few inches off the top and packed down a place to drive with his tires. No snowflakes were injured in this operation. To be fair, I'm sure he cleared the snow the plow trucks pushed into the end of the drive and 8" is better than a 3' drift in the drifting areas.

I'm done being an ungrateful shit now.
