Xmas

I took winter break not well usually for many reasons. The weather went insane this year, which certainly not helped. Everywhere seems extremely cold this year, so is Iowa. Although I love snow a lot, I cannot bear how cold it would be here. Well, it is what it is.

I went Peterson Park for a walk. I know the weather was not great for hiking, but I needed it bad. The road condition was fine, and I was very cautious just in case any accident would happen. When I almost arrived at the park, my car was trapped in snow. The moment I found my car was not moving forward, I knew this was happening again, I was trapped at middle of nowhere, 6 degrees outside. I was not even sure if road service was still on call as it was Christmas eve. As I was trying to dig my car out of the big pile of snow with a tiny snow shovel, a truck was approaching while my car blocked the only way out. That moment I was so relieved. The truck owner stopped and helped me. He was so surprised to see me and asked me why I would even be here. I felt this is my Christmas gift probably. Anyway, I made my way home later safely. I could not be more grateful as without that truck driver, I would not end up well right on Christmas eve.

If only I did not go to Peterson Park, but there is no if only. Best wishes to everyone.
