View from my window this morning. It'd all thawed by the end of the day.

16F We are supposed to get about 1" of snow. We usually measure snow in feet. If this is all we are going to get then I'll take it.

PDX has had a full week of sunny weather. Cool, sometimes cold.
But this morning the sunlight is brilliant, almost sparkling.
A mild breeze blowing in from the Columbia gorge.

Oh, fuck YOU.

22 degrees would feel like a tropical heatwave right about now.

And it ain't getting much warmer anytime soon. See, we got spoiled, see? A mild winter, see? So's just in case we got complacent it needs to be butt ass cold for a couple weeks...you know, just so we APPRECIATE spring more. What spring? It'll go from negative 10 to 110. We don't get no spring no mo'.

Eh, what else we got to bitch about? We're young, smart, and sexy as hell.

We'll get by.



Also, no one's called crying "I'm an idjit, come pull me outta the snow.", yet.

Ima go play in an hour or so.

You guys wanna come live with me? I mean it's not all fun and games, we had to have the lawn guys come mow the grass today, so that was pretty inconvenient.
