On Monday we got plastered with a monstrous storm that continued all day.
You know it's a big deal when The Weather Channel has their guys out here and they've named it Winter Storm Echo. Lucky for me I hadn't taken a subbing job yet, so I took the day off to shovel and drink hot chocolate (I'll have to share my favorite, easy recipe some time). The ruler measured 9 or 10 inches; we've had bigger storms even though the following day the school district issued a late start day. It wasn't a snow day but heading to school two hours later was a real treat.
Well tonight Erik wore his BYU sweatshirt into Salt Lake. Not because he chose to but because he literally has no other outer clothing to wear. I've offered to get him a coat and he refuses my offer. He's at least graduated from constant short wearing to jeans with some length.
The sweatshirt? No big deal, right? Except that tomorrow is a pretty big bowl game between BYU and the U of U and we were smack in the middle of Ute country tonight. As we were walking out of Barnes and Noble, a gentleman passed us on the way in. He stopped by Erik, gave him a friendly thump on the chest and told him his Cougars were gonna get their "butts" kicked tomorrow. He may or may not have used other words.
It was all in good fun although I think it caught Erik off guard.
Should be an interesting game. Ute fans and Cougar fans side by side. I hope they can behave themselves.
