Now, I'm from New England. I can drive in this much snow (I'm looking at you Miss Fancy Fake SUV who tried to sneak around a line of cars waiting respectfully for the school bus to load on the icy, unplowed street.), just don't ask me to park. I have all the right clothing to walk in it (That's you dad lifting his tween daughter over the snow banks, even if the two of you were having blizzardy amounts of fun.) even though my dog can't really stand to be out there very long and he makes me walk so fast I break a sweat. I understand that weather forecasting is a science but not a terrifically accurate one (Just going to look in the direction of Mayor Bloomberg
However, I'm 42 now and I am living in a place and working at a job where I don't have to. If I was in a production or worked for a hospital or even taught school I'd get my duck boots in a row and follow the prime directive, "Just do your job." I don't, though, so I'm sitting at home checking work email and drinking lots of liquids and putting something in the crockpot
Thank the icy gods and goddesses.
Photo from the dog walk this morning. A wall across from a school decorated by the snow and wind. I grabbed this with my blackberry
I grew up in North Dakota & can't stand people who freak out in the snow. Of course, since I live in Austin, it's not usually much of a problem...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day inside!
you completely cracked me up. Out here is Washington we had Snowphooey too last night...6 inches. I love your commentary, on the wackos of your world. I was sitting at a basketball game last night when a parent arrived bundled to the teeth along with his middle school daughter in shorts and flipflops during the aforementioned Snowsaster.
ReplyDeletelove it, and right on! get on with the job indeed. what's in the crock pot? just realized I could have made my barley-burger stew that way tonight, rather than standing over the stove for an hour. duly noted :).
