Our trip to the mall...

Wowee... Coloradans sure do overreact to inclement weather. Okay, so it was a little messy outside today, but by 3pm, it had stopped snowing and the roads looked great. We decided to go to Crate & Barrel at the mall, so we headed out to the mall. On our drive there, we were wondering what the heck was going on- not one car at Home Depot, barely any cars on the roads... Keep in mind, the roads were pristine- no ice, no snow.... just a little wet. We get to the mall, and find a handful of cars in the parking lot, walk into the mall entrance to find all of the stores CLOSED! We couldn't believe it. Less than 6 inches of snow on the ground, and most of the Denver area had decided to close down! One would think being so close to the mountains that receive foots of snow each year, that this area would be immune to the effects of receiving 6 inches of snow. AH, but no... That's all- just had to share that oddity of Denver. :)

what a bunch of pussies. on the bright side, you can probably get big discounts when the mall does open back up if you thump them on their clavicle with your index and middle fingers and say "whaddaya gonna do about it?" with a tough guy chicago accent.

and yes....another White Sox winner........

In addition, what the hell is up with them shutting down the town. Up North you need like 12 inches to even get the schools to consider giving you a day off......WTF!!!
