Smoldering snows

Now there is this discussion of global warming going on and while we were in Singapore earlier this year, I would swear the sun was just there on that spot, never leaving for any other part of the world. Even at night it was a billion degrees. But I see from my little weathercam that it has been snowing in Michigan for, like, a month straight. Lots-o-snow. So there is that. However, I do believe we are to blame for screwing things up here on this lovely planet with all our "ingenuity" so we bought a hybrid anyway. LOVE IT!

I like seeing all the beautiful snow drifts ON THE WEBCAM and hear from my friends THROUGH E-MAIL all about the lovely snow.

Don't miss it.

Nope.

I don't.

I was raised in it, I ski in it. Take the girls sledding in it... but I walked them to school today while wearing a short sleeved shirt. I'm ok with that. Of course, what comes with nice weather in the winter, is all the gajillion other people who also want nice warm winters too. Lot's of them. People. In this town.

Oodles. And only one out of about 15 people I encountered today even smiled back. Most avoided making eye contact. It's worse than NY. At least there they yell something at you or glare at you. I don't remember people being so grumpy.

I love the fact you can look up a word like gajillion and get an answer.

I was chatting with some moms today, one of whom was 26 as it turned out, and the subject of age came up. They said in a shocked tone, "You look so great for 40!!"

Um... thanks? Yea, not, "You look great!" But, "You look great for FORTY" I can't wait until I look good for 50 and 60. Geez, I hope I look good for dead.

Ya know, when I'm a gajillion.

Didn't this post start out about global warming? What the?

Turned out more like global whining. :-)

Have a great evening.
