Finally I made it up the hill and over to work! Hooray! The maintenance guys did a quick plow which made it much easier. I still spun out plenty of times on the way out but I still made forward progress which was important.
I tried again to get out of my place, again without success. However, I think I’ve narrowed down the problem. My car isn’t heavy enough. Other people seem to have been able to make it out, but me and my little Corolla remain at home.
<Begin Rant> My condo association hires a maintenance company to plow our lots. So far they have not been seen. According to the agreement they’re supposed to plow before 7 am if there is more than 3 inches or so. No dice. Doesn’t really help me in regards to the hill and the city road I have to get up, but still. <End Rant>
So I tried to get out of my place this morning to go work out, but it wasn’t happening. I tried for at least 20 minutes to get up the hill leading out of my place and every time I’d get stuck in roughly the same spot. I’d back up and try again but then I’d slide around and get turned sideways. I finally gave up and tried to work my way back down the hill and back to my garage, only to get stuck on the flat parking lot. Finally broke loose and made it back to my garage stall. I missed my trainer appointment and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to make it to work on time today.

Amazing Discovery of the Day: Brainiac sculptor George Hart has discovered a way to transform an ordinary bagel into a two-twist Möbius strip using a single cut along a specific line.
Hart says:
It is much more fun to put cream cheese on these bagels than on an ordinary bagel. In additional to the intellectual stimulation, you get more cream cheese, because there is slightly more surface area.
Math: It’s delicious.

I understand that you are upset and that you feel like you’ve been given the run around. I’ve been there. But I am telling you the answers to your questions as I see them. If you’d let me finish my sentence before interrupting maybe we could figure out where our disconnect comes from. At this point your anger and cursing doesn’t help and it only reinforces my thought that you are crazy. Bottom line the answers to many questions are not simple ones. When you are dealing with a large organization you should never expect a simple yes or no response. Are we covering our own asses? You bet we are. But let us not forget that you have choices and you chose us. You are an adult now, converse like one.
She makes a very good point that I have never considered before. Let the churches and religious leaders discriminate against those that do not share the their values. Government is should be equal opportunity and gay couples should be allowed to be married and share their lives under the law. If you or your church opposes gay marriage then don’t participate.
Stop What You’re Doing And Watch The Very Pit Of Hell Out Of This of the Day: Sen. Diane Savino (D-Staten Island) speaks out in favor of same-sex marriage ahead of today’s failed vote in the New York Senate.
If, after viewing this seven-minute video, you are still of the opinion that tax-paying Americans should be denied the right to enter into a loving marriage with the partner of their choice irrespective of gender, kindly exit this country.
