What is Mount Chipotle, one might ask? Well, it's what Charlottesville does with its snow after they plow it off the roads, parking lots and sidewalks. Mount Chipotle is a mountain of snow that has grown to ridiculous size over the last 6 weeks or so. It emerged from the Barracks Road shopping center (the only semi-decent place to shop in this town) parking lot next to Chipotle. It now towers at least 10 feet above Chipotle. I noticed this monstrosity right away, but I have just recently been made aware of its "official" name and the fact that Mount Chipotle has its own blog.
And here's the kicker: Mount Chipotle's blog has more official followers than mine! I don't know what's more sad: the fact that a pile of snow has a blog, or that it has, in its short life, more than double the number of followers that my blog has.
So, here's my plea: if you read our blog regularly (or even semi-regularly), please sign up as a follower! It's super easy.
Just click on the "Follow" button on the top right side of this page and then sign-in using your Gmail, Yahoo, AIM, etc. email account. I realize that not everyone has one these accounts, but perhaps you'd consider creating one (my suggestion is gmail) in our honor?? If you're really feeling sympathetic toward my pathetic plea, you can even upload a picture of yourself. And for those of you who are followers and don't have your picture uploaded: get to it and make it snappy!! :)
And because I hold no grudge over Mount Chipotle and its blog, I'm even going to include the link to an article about it so you can check it out. It's pretty amusing. The link is below...

Here is a picture of Mount Chipotle in its early days, before it grew taller than the restaurant itself.
