Waiting

It's Tuesday morning June 5th, 2012.  I'm in Les Schwab Tire in South Lake Tahoe, waiting while they do a brake check on the truck.  It pulses when the brakes are applied, especially when towing the trailer.  Warped front rotors, no doubt.  They are checking and will give me an estimate.  And so I wait.  But at least they have WiFi here so I can catch up on the blog.
  

    Yesterday was a Tahoe weather day.  Because of it's location and elevation, the weather here is quite unpredictable and yesterday was no exception.  We have been told that it can snow here any day of the year and yesterday was one of those days.  R and I took Mollie for a short walk around the Tallac site about Noon and the weather was already starting to change.  Clouds and sprinkles warned of things to come.  A look across the lake showed the future.



 By  1:30 it was raining and by 3:30 the rain turned to snow.  Big fluffly flakes.  The drive to the restaurant for our Monday night dinner was in a snow storm.  By the time we left the restaurant the parcipitation had ceased and blue sky was showing.


  This morning's walk presented several snowy vistas that will not last more than a day or two.
