Update: The big storm I was rushing home to avoid turned out to be freezing rain. Not too bad. Had I stayed an extra day I would have been SOL because heavy snow hit the entire region I was in yesterday. So I’m feeling less stupid about rushing home. Now back to the blog …
I turned on CNN a few minutes ago and there are women calling in for advice because they can’t sleep. They’re too afraid to sleep because they think they’re going to miss something. They think that we’re going to go to war RIGHT NOW and that terrorism is going to come to their neighborhood.
I sorta miss the Clinton age. All we really had to worry about was who Clinton was sleeping with at the moment. That was about it. Life was good. Nobody cared. Period. Nothing mattered.
Now? It’s exactly what people predicted. We put a pro-war anti-environment oilman in the white house. EVERYTHING “liberals” accused him of being that “conservatives” pooh-poohed turns out to be true. He’s not even trying to hide it. He’s already forcing through nominations of ultra-right wing judges to positions that are being called “holding positions” until there’s a vacancy on the supreme court.
If you put a great white shark in an area with a lot of seals, some seals are going to die. If you put the great white oilman in the white house …
Oh well.
It’s 7 degrees outside. One thing I can’t blame on the president is the weather. This is one of those winters where I went on vacation to a VERY cold place and I was walking around with an unzipped jacket because it was 10 degrees warmer on average than it’s been here all winter. We’ve had snow covering anything off and on since October 31. Honest to god. Every couple of weeks we get a new blanket of it and it never melts.
I have dreams where it’s raining and warm. I have dreams of thunderstorms. I have dreams of it hitting 50 degrees out. LOL. That used to be my sweater/no sweater mark. If it hit 50 or below outside, wear one. Now, I think it’s 20 or so. If it’s 20 degrees F out or below, go for it, if not, screw it. It isn’t THAT cold.
Remind me of this when I bitch about it later since I have to go out and do wood at noon.
Right now I have to get my butt in gear and go to work in 3 minutes. Ugg.
