One other thing.

I should mention that on Monday, (I think it was Monday) we tied a record high. 74 degrees. Then come Friday the temperature topped out in the forties.

And today, it might have topped out in the thirties. (I was inside all day playing video games so I don't know for sure.)

Ahhh, Minnesota.

How many other places consistently get over 90 degrees in the summer and well below zero in the winter. It's fun to live in a place that varies it's temperature by over a hundred degrees.

ShoW mE the SnoW!

Mr. W

SNoooooooooooooW!!!

So on Friday morning I woke up to snow!
Not much... just enough to cover grass, plants, trees, cars and roofs.
And it was above freezing out so it was gone by lunchtime.

But it was snow!!

YAY for winter!
(I know that's opposite the normal sentiment, but, what can I say. 15 years on, I still love a "real" winter.

So beautifully cold.
So quietly white.
Without the cold, how can you appreciate the warm?
Come on old man! Bring your worst!

** Paid for by the committee for the appreciation of cold and snow **

Mr. W is waiting for the day that the snow falls and stays.
The silent night.

--Mr. W

Whoa.

It looks like we have elected Barak Obama as our next president.
I'm impressed.

And happy.

Thank goodness.
There is no longer any chance that Palin will rise to power this year.
I really hope she just goes away.
And that she does not come back.

Stupid has no place anywhere near the presidency.
And there is no doubt that she is the antipathy of intellectualism.

Again. Thank goodness.
It's over.

My ideology won.
I am happy about that.

So happy.

And so relieved.

Yay!
