Strange Happenings in Local Ice Chest

Check this out:
I filled up a normal ice cube tray midday and then 8 hours later we needed some ice, and upon removing the tray from the freezer we found a freak occurrence. Sometime during the freezing process, normal everyday physics had flown out the window and left us with the ice cube shown. Dennis put it in his tea and as far as I know is still living normally, so it must have just been the physical properties of the ice cube that had changed inexplicably and not the chemical properties. What made this freak occurrence take place? We are without explanation.

Weird dream

I had this crazy dream last night, which is weird because I usually never remember my dreams. Our family was visiting some friends who lived right by a harbour on an ocean and there was a big steam powered paddle boat that was just floating out in the harbour. Then my dad and I thought it would be a cool picture if I were to jump in the ocean - it was shallow enough to stand - and push the huge boat around. But as we started walking down to the water this big storm came up and the water got really rough, but I thought I'd do it anyway so I jumped in with my clothes and sandals on and the water immediately took the sandals off of my feet. I kept looking around the bottom for the sandals, but all I could find were other people's flip flops. I was so mad at myself for not taking off my shoes before jumping in and now they were gone forever.

When I woke up this morning I was so disappointed and still mad at myself for losing my sandals. And then I realized that it was just a dream.

Shoveling for days!

So there was a blizzard in Colorado. Everybody in the country knows this. We were on national news and not only because DIA had to cancel a thousand flights. We got about two feet of snow on the first blizzard and then a week later we got another eight inches. Fun times, unless you've got a two wheel drive Oldsmobile that doesn't like snow and ice.

Wednesday I had taken the day off of work with the intention of doing brunch at Lucille's (one of the best breakfast places in Fort Collins) and then the brewery tours with some friends of mine. Budweiser was already closed so we decided to meet at Lucille's at 11:00. By this time it was a full on blizzard. Then we made our way over to Fort Collins brewery (leaving my car at Lucille's) and to our utter disappointment they were "closed". The door was unlocked and there were people working there, but they refused to give us any tasters. We were there, they were there and the beer was there, but for some odd reason we left without any tasters. Disappointed to say the least. Then it was New Belgium Brewery. We got there just as they were closing up the registers, but being the cool people they are, they showed us around a little and gave us an awesome taster and a couple glasses and bottle openers. Then it was on to Odell's who were completely open and acting like nothing was any different than any normal day. So after a great taster at Odell's and a great tour we headed over to Wal-Mart to buy Madden 2007 for Nintendo Wii. For the rest of the afternoon (with the blizzard raging outside) we were working up a sweat playing football.

When we emerged from the basement to walk and get food it was as if we were in some post-apocalyptic zombie movie. I kept waiting for the looting to begin. At least a foot of snow with more coming down and cars were beginning to become abandoned. Needless to say the pizza tasted amazing.

Upon reaching the car we found it to be covered in snow with a huge bank behind it, but with a couple pushes and gunning the engine the car bashed through the snow and was able to drive away. However...it got stuck about three blocks from the house...

The next three days were full of movies and shoveling. Then it was Christmas, which was nice, and then the next Thursday it snowed another eight inches. More shoveling and watching movies.

It might melt by March...

Happy New Years!
