4758 Enough Winter

 

Winter can’t go away soon enough.  There has only been one of the pictured snowstorms.  It was while ago and the snow that was dumped from above has nearly disappeared.

 

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.

4759 The Supreme Court

  C’mon, guys, we all know what you’re doing.  You’re hiding behind nonsense so a black woman is not the next Associate Justice of the  U.S....
