Snow in the sunrise, hibernation, customer service

1. We had some sun yesterday and the snow melted in our pasture. But across the valley, there is still snow on the north side of the hills, and when the sun came up this morning, the opposite hills were all sparkly and shining.
   
   
2. I saw our woodchuck in the yard yesterday, and I wondered why he wasn't hibernating. Then I realized that I hadn't seen a squirrel in a really long time.
   
   
3. I had some problems on a web site sponsored by the American Statistical Association, and I expected really lousy customer service (which gets on my nerves after all the dues I pay). But I was pleasantly surprised. They called me up to discuss the problem and fixed it for me right away.
