Goose Creek Traffic Report
This update is for all you * who anticipate traveling the Goose Creek bypass between Terry's Fork (Former) Grocery and the YoYoVitro Glass Shoppe on Shawsville Pike this morning. The VDOT road scraper came through at half til daybreak and cut it back to about 3 inches of packed powder. However, it only opened one lane. No, wait a minute. The road is only one lane. The scenery is phenomenal so drive carefully. Just stop your trucks in the middle of the road and get out and gawk. You'll not see another soul to worry about. We haven't. For days now. Other road info here.
Also, we have this report: Fred First, a local resident, says "My feet have never been happier" and he beams as he points proudly to his new Muck Boots that took their maiden voyage in the snow this morning. "They feel just like my bedroom slippers.... even when I'm standing in the creek". His wife was overheard mumbling that she had been telling him for a year he needed new waterproof boots and is tired of listening to him gloat, like it was his idea.
The neighborhood dog Tsuga has been dubbed "Tsuga the Tsubaru" after this morning's outting in the snow. Yes, traction-lovers, he is indeed the AWD Dog (Model **YL... with custom package: webbed feet, lowslung chassis, extra power in the front end, but a bit greedy in the fuel department). * Up to a half dozen vehicles are anticipated in the next 24 hours! ** Yellow Lab

I too have my first pair of Muck Boots and just in time for this pile of white stuff that threatens to transform into slush. They are more comfortable than my heavier hiking boots.

Fred, you might consider posting a photo of your dandy muck boots at The Shoe Project (http://www.shoeproject.org/) :)

I'm curious as to which model Fred purchased. I have need of a pair myself but I want something that is as comfortable as house slippers even when standing in a cold creek and are as easy to slip on when I am wearing heavy socks. Right now I'm using a pair of Deck Shoes that provide excellent traction but five inches of snow and ice tend to get inside that type of low tops. Some of us that do not live in a secluded valley out in the countryside, still must take our dog for a walk on a leash several times a day and such a pair of boots would be indispensable.
