Waiting for the UPS Freight track to pickup large art.

This is the painting from the Sketchbook series that I am currently working on.
If you look closely, you can see that I have entered some boxers among the toys.
It is so interesting to draw boxing matches.
They twist their bodies into interesting positions and they look so painterly with their large shorts, long laced boots and colorful gloves.
This painting is still in progress.
I have to enter a lot of doodling all around the symbols and toys.

Today I am waiting for the UPS Freight truck to come and pick up the large boxes to be shipped to the collector in Florida.
We are having trouble getting the Freight company to drive up our road.
It is a gravel road, and even though it did no snow for awhile, the semi-trailers do not like our narrow road that snakes around the creek and has only a few spots for them to make a U-turn on.

We tried to shovel the snow blocking our van, thinking that we can drive the boxes to the UPS depot, but our van does not have a four wheels drive and it proceeded to skid into the snow.
In fact, we got so badly stuck, that the only way out of this mess was to call AAA and have them tow the van back into its spot in our driveway.
We usually do not even move the van during the winter.
We normally drive our jeep which is a 4 wheels drive and never gives us any problems.

We decided to cancel the coastal walk, because the heritage trail was closed anyway, and instead head back to Taipei. But getting back to Taipei from our southeastern location would take some time. First we needed to get to the city of Hengchun, where we could take a three hour long bus to the city of Kaohsiung, and then take the high speed train to Taipei Station. The hiking group was in good spirits this morning, cooking breakfast and packing up their gear. We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
