The Sky is clear. But there’ll be more snow sooner or
later. Nature can’t read the calendar. But if it could, it might skittle
back north where people are used to it. Or don’t care about it. Or post posters
of Florida or Arizona on their walls.
We’ll get another bunch soon enough. Too soon, maybe.
Is this the grumbling of an old man trapped in a house?
Yeah. After all the winters in all the places I’ve been, I’ve had
enough. And moving to Florida isn’t the answer. Have you been
following what goes on there these days?
We won’t round it up for you, but we can describe it as
pretty messy. Even without things like collapsing buildings and the
stupid internal government stuff that goes on everywhere.
About the governments of this and every other state’s: Do we
constantly elect people these days who don’t know what they’re doing? Or
does it just seem that way? Is the pandemic part of the problem? Yes, but
not so much that we can put all the blame on it.
A local congressman has suggested that we prohibit snow of
more than two inches. That’s a good idea. But if we do, what will the
penalty be and who will “pay” it? Almost all lawmaking is fraught with
that kind of problem.
Yes, yes, this will all go away in a couple of months … at
least in most places. But the NOW problem will remain a problem.
Would that there would be some way to enforce a law that prohibited snow except
from Friday afternoons to Sunday mornings. Think of the money we’d save.
Snow is a beautiful thing. As long as it’s not
near. Would that it were possible to position the downpour to land in
specific areas. Like rivers and totally uninhabited regions.
Then we could get dustings at home and dispatch
photographers to take and post pictures of the Great Inundation of some
uninhabited area.
