Guys who are willing to park their Gransports under carports in the snow are WIN in my book.

I hate the cold. But I love driving in the snow. Huzzah for heated seats and driving gloves. And the Advancetrac OFF button. WEEEEEEEEEEE. Oh, sorry, were we complaining about the snow? I couldn't hear you over the sound of all the fun I was having.

Heat is frustrating. Its nice when you're playing outside outdoors but it makes sitting still or sleeping a pain in the a**, especially if your bedroom is upstairs. I use a window unit in addition to my central air, and bear in mind that its still 15-20F cooler here than AZ and NM.

When I was a kid I spent a month in Albuquerque with some relatives for a reunion. It was a beautiful, stunning part of the country -- a treasure, untainted by big-city pollution or the urban decay that's so prevalent in the eastern half of the country, but the monster-sized critters trolling the neighborhood were enough to make me miss the harshness of freezing temperatures, temperatures that kill off a sufficient quantity of the insect population each year (except those resilient mosquitoes).

California has a pleasing climate though. Its mild most of the time. Unfortunately, the water pollution gave all of them a brain disorder -- no one with a shred of sanity would elect Nancy Pelosi. I could probably live in the northern 1/4th of the state if it broke away and became independent or joined Oregon. I'd move to Redding, become a writer, and chill out.

Utah's not bad.

I just heard yesterday we have gotten over 60 inches of snow this year in Minnesota. I can't even see pulling out of my drive way anymore with the 6 foot snow mounds. My house looks more like a walled fort. This winter is sucky, that is for sure.


But hey, at least I can make a snowman, try doing that with all that sand!

It will be days before we can get out of here. No municipal services come out to my dad's house. WHY did I decide to visit Tulsa this week, I could have been comfy in Idaho with no snow.
