The Demise of "Harv"
In the last blog I offered free churros con chocolate in Spain for the person who had the closest guess as to the date of the demise of the snowman, who we'll call "Harv." So far we've gotten only one response: March 21. In order to view his progress (or regress), here he is from yesterday:
The heat yesterday took its toll and during the night he was beheaded, so I fixed him up a bit. The nose is getting somewhat weathered - looks like gangrene.
I suppose giving him a new head may be tampering with destiny, but since I'm not a Calvinist, what does it matter? We want to give him every chance we can. Actually, when you think about it, there are some good illustrations in this about the brevity of life, appearance to others, eternal destiny, and the like.
If you'd like to submit a projected date of demise, please do so in the "comment" section of this blog, or send it to pablojudi@gmail.com. Maybe we should sweeten the pot a bit. How about sending Harv's hat to the winner as a momento?

So glad your visas finally made it. Maybe the holdup was for you to experience the blizzard? Godspeed in the final preparations. We believe you are the ones God wants to send at this time. Will keep you in our prayers.

Hey, I need to predict a date since your may really have to follow through with your promise if I win:)...and I LOVE Churros con chocolate!!! So...I'll say March 20, although I'd really be lucky to win since I'm not there to feel the weather. But I'll be getting ready to share some churros together:)!!

Hey, I want in on this too! I know the restaurant to go to as well to get the best Churros con Chocolate! (It's really close to your hotel)They're really, really good! With the warm weather and rain coming your way, I pick this Wednesday, March 19. I'll be looking forward to some steaming warm Churros with y'all in a few weeks :)!!!
