It snowed.

Received around 6" of the white stuff

"Logan the Snow Guy" scraped out the parking lot at 6:15am

Wednesday evening I went to see “Queens on Ice” at Brenton Plaza.  It was a benefit for Capital City Pride – the organization that puts on the local Pride Fest.  The show comprised mainly of drag queens  and several local semi-professional figure skaters.  A few of the drag queens could skate, but most did not attempt.  Give them credit for performing outside in the frigid air – was in the lower 20′s out with a wicked breeze.  Here’s a few pics:

Drag queen ice skating. Did a nice job.

This "girl" needs a cookie - so thin...

The city lights made a nice backdrop for the evening.

I have the day off of work – taking it as a “comp day” since I worked on Monday (President’s Day bank holiday).  The city inspectors will be back at 10:00am to inspect the items we corrected – new railing on the back stairs, new dual-sensor hard wired smoke alarms and other minor things.  We spent around $800.00 getting everything done.  We should pass inspection with flying colors and receive our rental certificate.  The certificate is good for two years then.

    I’m surprised you didn’t skate-as your alter ego, of course. :)
