Snow, mother, then politics

I spent most of yesterday in the hospital with my mother.  They finally released her about 10 PM and then she stayed the night with us so I could take her to her doctor today.  She is ok and seems to be on the mend but I will be adding her grocery shopping to the list of things I am doing for her.  Tomorrow it is supposed to snow.  Snow in Tuscaloosa, Alabama is rare (only two significant snows in the 18 years down here.)  The threat of snow in the South is Amazing because every grocery store has a run on the store so that Southerners buy at least 3 weeks worth of groceries for a snow that rare lasts 24 hours.  Between my mother and the weather politics seems far away and less compelling.
