The older I get, the more I remember Daddy saying “The strongest muscle in your body is between your ears”.

I actually did some shoveling yesterday, but with the new ‘ergo’ shovel, it was more a matter of pushing w my body wt than lift and twist–which is an orthopedically bad combo. Still stiff especially in mornings but not a disc issue, thankfully.

Forget the shoveling and enjoy the chili and warm fire. Unless it freezes into a massive block of ice the snow will be there tomorrow to shovel when you are feeling better.

Yeah, since shoveling snow is notoriously the worst culprit for throwing backs out of whack, don’t shovel, no matter how much you want to get out with a car. Take it from a fellow back sufferer, who also came down with a severe low back spasm yesterday morning, which hasn’t abated a bit, and in fact has gotten worse, in spite of a chiropractor, much stretch exercising, heat, vibrating back cushion, etc.

“We have no place to go and no way to get there, plenty of firewood, chili simmering on the stove, and the world within our grasp. Life is good.”

There ya’ go, Fred, ol’ boy! That’s th’ spirit!
I got a fire goin’ in the box stove in the basement, the dogs are camped out ’round the kero heater in the dining room, Janet is making french toast and I’m getting a show of snow the likes of which I have rarely seen.
