Snow?

Well, we got another few inches of snow last night, but far less than the doomsayers were predicting. Anyone run out of toilet paper yet?

I came in to work early this morning. It was worth it. With the roads nearly empty, I was able to fly along in my Subaru ... skidding everywhere, snow flying ... with no worries that the other drivers would ruin my fun.

Whilst driving in, a radio DJ was bemoaning the horrors of this storm. "Uncle", he cried to the snow gods (or whatever deities he believes control the weather). Most people I know are complaining that they're wore out from the snow. City officials are upset and begging for assistance. (City of Pittsburgh has declared an emergency, in case you didn't know ... that allows them to pay for things without getting approval -- hey! All you people out of work -- go offer to shovel snow for the city of Pittsburgh!)

To the snow gods, or whoever controls the weather, I also have a message:

Is that all you've got? You call this snow? I've had deeper snow in a cone! You call this cold? I know chewing gum that's colder than this!

Bunch of pansies, crying about a little snow. When the zombies attack, we know who will be the first to die off. This is nothing, when I was in Nam, we used to get real snow, not this pansy flurry crap. It hasn't even been a week yet!

So quit your whining and act like you've got a pair.

And to the snow gods: bring it.
