Thoughts

Apparently my condo up and moved itself to the North Pole over night. Sure we're seeing the same weather as much of the midwest/northeast, but for some reason things seem different here. I can honestly say that I never expected to look out my window and see what I can only assume is a neighbor trudging through the snow in snowshoes. I live in a fairly highly populated development and though most people stay indoors, I know it's a relatively big community. I was surprised to even see someone outside let alone someone on snowshoes with ski poles for balance. I've not yet been outside today, but I can't fathom we have more than 6 inches of accumulation. That is really not that much snow yet I can't help thinking a few things.

Why does that person have snowshoes?
Was he/she just out for a walk?
Is a gym membership more expensive than snowshoes?

Then things got dramatic.
Were they out of canned food and had no other option but to brave the elements in an effort to make it to help in this winter storm?
Was there too much snow around the car thus rendering it useless leaving snowshoes as the only transportation through the snow?

It's only 6 inches and from what I can see watching out my window, it's 6 inches of powder.

Ok, as I've written this I think I have figured out the situation. The snowshoes were a Christmas present and when the man said he wanted to go for a walk (to get away from his nagging wife) she...nagged...him about wearing his new snowshoes if he was going out in the snow.
