WOW!... It is 'bitchin' cold this morning. The moisture that accumulates on the underside of my hot tub cover formed into icicles, and the death-mobile (Camry)... had a little trouble starting up this morning. As I understand it, its actually 20 degrees.... not an excruciatingly cold temperature, however the wind chill knocks that figure down to a 'feels like 7'. I'm not sure why the weathermen actually bother telling us what the actual temperature is if it 'feels like 7'. I think it might have something to do with the fact that of all the meters, gauges, and dials they're paid to use, the thermometer remains the only one that actually has ANY effect on their ability to inform us of weather conditions, since everything else coming out of their mouths borders on complete bullshit and guesswork. Regardless, I LOVE winter!
In less than 48hrs. I'll be jumping in a car to head north where it is EVEN COLDER!!! No bother though... its for skiing, for which cold is a necessary ill. In fact, I don't mind the cold, when properly dressed - ski jacket, gloves, scarf, boots, etc. It's dealing with this crap in and out of the office, and in the car on the way to work that pisses me off sometimes. I enjoy this weather... it keeps things interesting, and makes for some sweet snow/ice conditions... or wait... I'm sorry, this is east-coast-skiing... they call that "Packed Powder" ;-)
Look around,
The grass is high,
The fields are ripe,
It's the springtime of my life.Seasons change with the scenery;
Weaving time in a tapestry.
Won't you stop and re-mem-ber-me
At any convenient time?Funny how my memory skips,
Looking over manuscripts
Of unpublished rhyme,
Drinking my vodka and lime,
I look around.
