Snowy Sardinia Take 3 | Feb 11th, 2012

Posted on February 11 by Jennifer Avventura

Woke this morning to a complete and utter white out. Was planning on running 6k, but that idea is shot out the window. These pictures were taken at 7:30am.

The largest snow storm to hit Sardinia in thirty years is still hitting the island hard with the white fluff. The locals haven’t the means in dress to keep warm, no winter boots, jackets, mitts or hats. They are not used to climates like this and have begun to hibernate. The streets are silent.

Stating the Oblivious | How I found YouTube

Posted on February 6 by Jennifer Avventura

Early morning runs have given way to cold, wintry mornings in; computer side. With my eight year old crocs keeping my elevens warm and toasty, I forget about the six kay and settle deeply into the wonders of the net.

I skim along the morning headlines and click a YouTube link, probably from one of the major social networks circling the many circles. I watch the cute, quirky, kind of annoying video of whatever and notice, in the upper right hand corner my social Gravatar, I click it in wonder. What’s behind that door?

UPLOAD!

So, I did it! Five times!
