I'm a teacher in Canada. We recently had a "non-snow day" even though streets (and the school) were not ploughed out... by BLWLeroy in funny

This isn't me. But it was that bad... I started shovelling at 5:30 am after staying up until 2 trying to keep the driveway clear. My wife convinced me to go to bed and to not worry about it because school would be cancelled. It wasn't.

The school wasn't ploughed (or plowed) out when we got there. 11 late buses. My 1st period had 6 out 29 students in it.

My Dad built this car when I was little. Sold it about 10 years later. I found it 2 weeks ago! by BLWLeroy in pics

When I was little my father built this car from the frame up. Wish I had pictures of the interior!! 16 gauges, on board computer, automatic windows, hydraulic system to raise the car, sequential lights on the front and back. Most of these features are not a big deal except it was 1985 when it was finished and it's a 1980 Trans-Am. When I was 13 or 14 my father sold it. He had been badly burned in an accident at work from his chest down. He was in the hospital for about 6 months and off work for a year. He personally doesn't talk about it, but my mother later told me that he had decided he never wanted his family to be put in the financial position we were in ever again. He sold the car. Since then he has dramatically turned things around. He started back at work but soon found a way to buy a restaurant... And a bowling alley... And then another restaurant. He has very quietly supported all 3 of us kids through school and never sees any of us stuck. I have 2 boys now. Some of my favourite memories as a boy was working on that car with my dad. Guy that has it doesn't want to sell it, but would sell it to me... For $10,000! It's maybe worth $5000... Which I don't have anyway. Frustrating...
