We're now entering our third day of being iced in here in Austin. I'm beginning to go a little stir crazy, and I doubt that I'm the only one.

The entire city of Austin has literally bit completely shut down for the last 3 days. Nobody (in their right mind) is going anywhere... Yet somehow I keep getting my morning newspaper and my mail. How is that possible?

I've never met my newspaper carrier. All I know is that she drives a white truck and usually goes past my house at about 5am. This week she's also my hero! How do they find these people?

Austin American Statesman newspaper delivery application:
7. Are you able to lift up to 50 pounds?
8. Can you drive in rain, sleet, freezing rain, hail, snow, and on roads with a half inch of ice on them?
9. Can you do that one handed while also flinging a newspaper within 10 feet of the front door of the appropriate homes?

Needless to say I'm impressed.

Hopefully we'll be able to get out of the house tomorrow and get back to work.

Happy Networking!
