a Blizzard in West by God
Good Saturday, MyBloggerstown:
Well, we gots about 5 inches of nasty white stuff on the ground outside, the wind is blowing and the weather report on the weather channel is predicting "some snow". They need to get their butts up here and shovel "some snow" offa my steps. I 'aspose I should not be surprised by this. Often in this area there are late winter/early spring snowstorms. I remember it snowed nearly a foot one Easter when I was a kid. But then the next winter, nary a flake fell the entire season. Out my window I see the neighbor kids sliding along the streets, getting in what's likely to be the last of their snow fun for this winter. They pause at the vacant lot across the way and are in the midst of a hard pitched snow ball fight with some other kids who are there. My joints hurt just looking at them, yet I envy them their youth, health and energy.
Alcohol must be a powerful addiction. Hardworking Alky, my upstairs neighor, has gone out twice in this snowstorm (afoot now mind you; he has no car, which is probably just as well) and has comeback each time with a twelve pack of Old Kill Doggie("tastes as gross as it's name"). Who drinks beer in cold weather? And if I were going out in a blizzard to get beer, I sure as hell would get something good like Miller or Heiniken and not THAT champaign of bottled mule piss he bought. Guess there's no accounting for taste,and after all a buzz is a buzz.
Watching CNN and the goings on in the Wyoming caucuses. Brother Bubba lives there and I keep looking to see if I can see him in the crowds. I think he's a Pacyderm though. He and I were discussing politics one night and he hates Hill with a blue passion. He sez he'd choose Mr. Obama over her any day but that when it came to the general election, he'd pro'ly just hold his nose and vote for McCain. Bubba in a conservative evangelical christian...a far cry from the wild, drugged out little j.d. I grew up with. Once he married his wife, Suffering, he turned around. He became a good husband, a loving father, and a hardworking snack food salesman. His kids all turned out fairly decent, none of them ever served jail time. All are married and have kids of their own and are hardworking usefull citizens. He must've done something right. And in this day and age, having yer kids turn out not to be total screw-ups is something of an acomplishment. Jethrene, the youngest, is having her trials of course, but she's basically a good kid with solid values. She just has her head up her ass a lot of the time. Most kids that age (21) do, though. I know I did.
I'm trying to change the font color. This text is 'asposed to be blue. I followed Bob's instructions. Let's see if it works. Am I 'asposed to see the color as I type?
Have a good weekend, everyone
