Nonian, just because it's not pro bono doesn't mean you're not awesome. You chose this path as a lawyer, and you could have chosen a very different one.
Liese, glad you're feeling better.

Our wings are not tired.
Liese, glad you feel better! Wish I could visit you while you're in SoCal.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, I don`t work for free either! I live in a dream house I built to my specifications. I work in a town that people pay big bucks to come to vacation in. I basically do my hobby for my job and I set my own hours and can go gallivanting off for conventions and junk whenever I want to.
But I do work I am passionate about, that I believe makes a difference in the lives of people, and I could have been doing something else with my time. And that`s the choice you made too, and I`m proud of you and glad you`re in my circle of friends.

People who live in snow country mock the South's snow days, but we have no chains, no snow tires, no snow shovels, no snow blowers and only a limited number of trucks to spread salt and gravel. It would hardly be cost effective to have them for one to five days a year. As far as I know, the only snowplows are at the airport. Enough people don't know how to drive on snow and ice that many roads are blocked by cars that have spun out.
We do know how to deal with heat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I ate my clementine already, so get off my fucking case. Also, fuck you Opera, clementine is too a word. Fuck off.
For dinner, I will be having the rest of the piece of chocolate cake that I couldn't finish for breakfast. Did I mention I ate a clementine? Also, fuck off.

I approve of ita's food choices today.

I also mock your bugs, because I fear them. Please, keep them, and we shall keep the snow, and all will be well.

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

See also PNW. Though I don't think we have any trucks for salt or gravel.
It snows, we stop and wait for it to go away. When that is a day once or twice a year, fine. When it's snowpocalypse, we're fucked. It's just what is.
