Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

It's hilarious! And such a thing you'd expect in the high desert (though I know JTree is a little more accustomed to snow): We got snow. Because of that, we've misplaced the road.

Basically, that mentality was what shut down town when we had more than an inch or two. We didn't even have plows.

lori, have a blast! Decorate a yucca or something. (We had a yucca tree one year. We were going to be out of town for the holiday, but wanted to put something up. Hence a yucca stalk.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Those pictures are terrific! Palm trees with a coating of snow are just so surreal.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well, snow is rare enough that it's mostly a lie back and think of England summer thing. It gets cold enough a lot of the time, but dry. Still, spectacular when it happens.

lori, I e'd you some pics.

Cass, my hometown similarly. 4000 ft river valley.

Because books.

Up here sometime around Halloween all roads and parking lots are planted with wooden stakes, so plowers can see where the boundaries are. It's all very depressing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, yes, this is another objection I have to snow. You can't see anything on the ground! How do you know where the lanes are? The curbs?

The Target near me does this. Of course, I only noticed one when I snagged a bag on it..

That's what bumpers are for.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I hate every fucking person who got snow today.

::glares in the general direction of the "SEVERE WEATHER WARNING!" that FAILED TO MATERIALIZE AFTER EVERYTHING HAD BEEN SHUT DOWN ALREADY::

You're all on fucking notice.

(My transit to work was cancelled at 5am, as we were supposed to have snow. I spent the first half of my accidental work at home day struggling to connect to work, because everyone and his dog was working at home and the network was struggling with the load. I was wandering around the house, staring at the snowless outside and yelling "WHERE THE HELL IS MY FUCKING SNOW???" at no one in particular. If my day is going to be screwed by the weather, the weather better well show the hell up for the date.)
