here comes the snow

great. here it comes. i feel bad for the people in the midwest who got hammered the last few days. more importantly though i feel bad for me. i don't need this cold weather, and i definitely don't need the damned snow.

it piles up, makes messes, causes accidents, slows things down, starts to look like sewage after a few cars have driven past. disgusting. i remember shoveling that shit back when i was a kid. the driveway would fill up quick. sometimes i'd be stuck shoveling at night, so that when i'd have to shovel in the morning it wouldn't be as hard. that sucked.

you know, some people think the snow is pretty. and it is pretty for a few minutes. then it's just a pain in the ass. driving around is atrociuos. and travel becomes dangerous now that i think about it. then we become worried about loved ones (even the ones we complain about, for me that's all of them).

snow. sleet. ice. hail. none of them bring any good. it's the worst part of the season. no, the cold is worse. no the snow. it doesn't matter - they are forever linked as winter obstacles i wish i could avoid.

and hey, don't start telling me to go back to Boca. just because i have some family who were smart enough to head down there, doesn't mean i'm ready to be put to pasture. actually, i think i'd be more partial to arizona, and the nice dry heat. but there are a lot of cacti in arizona.

don't get me started on cacti...
