I’m rooting for old man winter this year. The last couple years have been warmer than usual and the hurricane seasons pretty gruesome. Maybe if we can have a colder winter the tropical stuff won’t be so rough next year. That’s my theory anyway. It is already 80 today and the surf temperature was listed at 76 this morning. The ocean temp is never going to cool off a bit at this rate. Also, I like looking at all the snow pictures. And yes, it is all about me.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

If you move to Vancouver or San Francisco, Sue, they'll be plenty of weather to bitch about all year round! But you'll be a lot less likely to DIE if you go outside!

But what would I have to complain about endlessly from November to April?
You can always live near a college and complain about those damn kids being on your lawn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I need to live in a place where it is between 72 and 80 every day.
Are you achieving that? It's been below 70 for me for a couple weeks now.

Hello, earthquakes??
I used to say to people when I lived in Vancouver that I had a feeling that I would never experience an earthquake in my lifetime. People usually reacted by looking like I had just tempted the earthquake gods and would start clutching the walls.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It is pretty cold in the mornings, but it has gotten into the 70s in the Valley most days, even if it's just for a few hours.

Simi, usually the armpit of hell, doesn't seem to have made it that far. Might be the winds. West LA certainly hasn't.
Just watched the trailer for SLiTHER. Nice job. Go team Fillion.

I'd turn into a cheerful person or something else equally appalling.
There is that to consider....
msbelle, snail mail or email? Which is a dumb question, because either way, the answer is newp.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
My view is that the purpose of winter is to enhance the enjoyment of dark ales. In this it succeeds admirably. Thus making it not so bad.
I therefore bestow upon winter the coveted grade of "Meets Expectations".
