Day 4: No dentist after all.

The two major roads connecting Castle Rock (where his office is) to the greater Denver area (where he apparently lives) were closed this morning, so my dentist was not in fact available.... never mind that I would have needed to use one of those roads. He also doesn't work fridays, or next week. So no dentist for me this year. Oops. I think I'll survive.

The wind had died down by morning, and the snow itself tapered out by 2 or so. Total damage turned out to be about three feet, but we managed to get rid of that about a foot and a half at a time. Still, there was no going anywhere, and I've come to the conclusion that this is the last time I visit here for more than a few days around Christmas. Yeah, I still know people here; no, they're not close enough (in any sense) to be worth visiting. I've got better places to be for the future.

My brother did make it down from Boulder today, eventually. Not much to say on that front. I offered Illuminati for the family to play, but we settled on dominos, and I got slaughtered.

Tomorrow, the fool is going to try to go to work. Heh.
