We had our earliest snow here in the Houston area ever last week. I’ve been here almost 11 years and it was only our third snow. I must say I get a kick out of watching people bundle up in the winter parkas when it is 50 degrees.

Yep, snuggies…the horror…we aren’t all like that, but it seems the majority of people here have really switched off their brains lately, it’s really starting to scare me how easily influenced people are by marketing at the moment, “Lobotomy with free Colonoscopy? Only if I call now?…CAN’TDIALFASTENOUGH”

The idea of people riding public transit in Snuggies actually horrifies me. That shit would create a scene on the el in Chicago, and the el offers plenty to compete with for attention. I’m re-evaluating my concept of Australia.

I’m in Sydney Australia, the coldest it gets in the city during winter is minus 4 degrees Celsius (25F), so I really can’t complain haha…but people act like it’s the end of the world, putting on 4 layers, 2 layers of gloves and socks, I don’t I just put on a long but somewhat thin coat and it’s fine. It’s also a massive deal to scrap the thin layer of ice off the car windows every 3rd or 4th morning of winter, people here are stupid. What really shits me is people using snuggies on the the heated trains, the trains in Syd make you sweat in winter, I do hate snuggies and the people that love them tho, get a freakin blanket you lazy shit.

Paul – Yeah, you have it worse than us when it comes to winter. I don’t see how you do it.

The disintegration Paul is referring to was a paper bag left in the car for several hours during sub-zero weather. When I picked it up, it was as if the molecules had given up and the bag just sort of fell apart in my hands.

I’m moving to Mexico.

Paul: I sold my snow shovels at a yard sale in MA before moving out here… can’t say I’ve missed ‘em. One of those shovels harkens back to my five years living in Northern VT – which I think is similar to Minnesota in many ways when it comes to winter weather – so I feel your pain… er, well, vaguely recall your pain, I guess.

I just spent 45 minutes hunting for my snow shovel, in the process uncovering my beloved old lady grocery cart in the garage and a cavalcade of memories of walking to the grocery store in Chicago, wending my way through the 14 inch width shoveled path on the sidewalk. You need to walk more so that you’re not stuck immobilized by the mounds of hip-hop winterwear in your car. Don’t bemoan the winter to me or you’ll have to come back to Minnesota to conduct experiments on more things that are disintegrated merely by the cold.

I’m fucking back, again… And I don’t appreciate these temperatures (I understand it snowed around the SF Bay Area a few days ago?)…

Looks like I missed a number of good posts while away, but citing not having any fucking clue what time/day/time-of-day it actually is because I’m jet-lagged like nobody’s business, I’m going to just close this off by saying “fuck you, you fucking fucks!”.
