I'm so very tired of SNOW..........
But the alternative isn't much better - MUD
Oh well, at least I'm still alive. I just heard about an old acquantaince who was a few years younger than me, who just died of esophageal cancer...........
Kinda' brings the weather into perspective................
I used to hate snow and winter for that matter. But then I realized (finally after 30 something years) that hating it didn't get rid of it... So.... I bought a Jeep. And now, seriously, in 4-wheel-drive it's like driving on a dirt road. Well, sometimes its like driving on sand, but the point is, I don't get stuck like I did in my Crossfire.
And I bought snowshoes so I can hike all year round. At first I was worried I might not take to kindly to the cold, but the winter wear I bought from REI had me sweating in the first 15 minutes so much that I was already taking off layers.
So hang in there Rhanarose, and let me know if you get stuck somewhere. I'll come to the rescue!
I've never been an LA type person, don't need pure reality, but I do like to keep it in view. I kinda like old dirty cities. If you go have fun, always good wine there.
