Optimist, Pessimist, or Realist?

It's May 30th.

I just took the snow brush out of my car until next winter.


Additional information that may or may not be pertinent and/or useful:

-- Three weeks ago today, I removed the coal shovel that's so useful when one needs to dig one's car out of a snowbank, especially the snowbanks along the edge of one's driveway that a certain driver has been known to get stuck in...repeatedly...when backing down for a second or third attempt at getting up the curved slope.

-- There are at least three ice scrapers still in the car. They don't take up any space needed for other things and live there year round. Why three? It makes it much more likely that one will be found when it's needed.

-- I've lived in Massachusetts for five years and two weeks.

-- It is entirely possible that those 25 years in Minnesota are still in my bloodstream.

Yes, but do you still carry a blanket and/or sleeping bag in the car all winter?

(Now that we have a van again, the sleeping bag is a permanent resident. We didn't move out the shovel until it was time to go down to Nashua and pick up Twin A from college for the summer.)

Yeah, a heavy cloth bag contining air-mattress, sleeping-bag, blanket, pillow, small nylon tent, and some dried food & a gallon of water is permanently resident in my car's trunk. Handy for a camping-out weekend (which I like at least twice a year) and as an Earthquake kit because (this being California) I'm hardly ever very far from the car.
