Alarmed about the oncoming snowstorm, I got carried away.
You'll laugh at this.
Yesterday, preparing for today's snowstorm, I thought I needed new tires. Wanted thick lugs. Got all alarmist when I couldn't find my favorite tire store. They moved. Drove home to look up their new location.
Arriving home, I dug out the tire receipt from the glove box. New all-season tires, Michelin Defenders, were installed in September 2019. My last Michelin Defenders lasted over 85,000 miles. These have 4,000 miles on them. slaps forehead
Got out my snow shovel. Let it snow!

Very funny! You took my headline literally.
Carried away by a mountain lion?
@LiterateHiker I want to be carried away by a cougar a 2 legged one preferably.
At least you were trying to be proactive!

Thank you, dear.
It's been a long and eventful year, that has left us all feeling like we've trudged 85,000 miles through rocky terrain! Glad your tires are still good for the incoming winter weather!

Good point. Thank you.
A little stressed about more than just the snowstorm are we?
One of my earliest memories is from when we lived on the edge of the Hopi reservation in AZ.
We had a nasty snowstorm one winter and so many reservation residents got snowed in they sent the National Guard up to rescue them.
Then the semi-local Phoenix channel 5 sent a reporter to interview the people they saved. He asked one Hopi lady (she looked like she could have been 105) 'What would you have done if they hadn't come and helped you?'.
She looked him right in the eye and said she'd 'have waited until tomorrow and driven to town. This is AZ; it'll be gone tomorrow.'
