We guess and mostly we are correct in our guesses but then she throws the curve ball and we miss. However will we admit that really we just don’t have a clue what is going on with the weather really. No, because we have the thumb. Most people have it firmly planted … well you know where.
As far as the weather goes, I like the saying, “we’ll whether the weather whatever the weather, whether we like the weather or not.” Say that five times fast. I don’t know who said it first but I know it wasn’t me.
Snow does seem to cause lots of havoc or does it? Snow is just snow. We cause our own havoc when you think about it.
I know for myself I don’t have the same tires that I would have living in a snowier area. Why? Because it doesn’t snow that much here and I don’t need to replace my tires yet. I will when I have to and if I lived in the snowier areas I would have by now. However I know that because of my choice not to replace my tires its not safe for me to drive in snow when it does snow, even if I know how to drive in it.
Now there are people here who have no clue how to drive in snow, not because they are bad drivers but mainly it is because they just don’t know how and haven’t had to do it. I would be willing to bet the nickel that their cars are largely like mine and do not have the appropriate tires and equipment to maneuver well in the snow. Why? Well because it doesn’t happen here that much and it costs a lot to replace tires. Then they go out and wreck and then they are nervous afterward and overreact in the snow. We make the havoc and chaos not mother nature. Because we don’t respect her.
The snow also causes problems in that it takes up space because we don’t like it where it decides to fall all inconsiderate of our roads and parking lots. So we move it around and then discover that there isn’t any place to put the snow when it comes. We are unwilling to yield on that whole, we don’t want it on the street but where do you put it when you get a lot. There just isn’t any place to put it. Maybe we can teach the snow just to fall on ski areas and other such places that want the snow. Dear Mother Nature, do you think…
You know that memo may not be a really good idea... so yeah... ah...
Back in the day people didn’t freak out about snow, maybe because they didn’t have as far to go, maybe because their cars weren’t made of plastic and fiberglass, maybe because they had more sense, perhaps when it did snow they decided that they really didn’t need to go anywhere so they stayed put and enjoyed the peace that seems to blanket the world when it snows. Ever notice how quiet the world sounds when it snows?
However now, people get all discombobulated about the snow. It’s not like the next ice age is going to start today… wait what … it is? Really? Ah… color me embarrassed there are some guys standing here now saying that I should just stop talking about the ice age now and move on to something else.
So I was in court yesterday for a long time, a really long time. Not for me, but for work, so that means I can’t tell you why I was there or for what or other people in suits will say I need to stop talking about what it is I’m talking about. And you thought I was going to say something a smart ass would say like or I’d have to kill you. Nope most likely I would be yet another person fired from their job for posting crap about work online. However, I did get a chance to people watch which is always fun. Whenever I go to court I will think I’ve seen it all but the next time I go there is usually something new which will make me shake my head.
That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow
