The Big Storm?

 

January 19, 2019

 

I’m hand writing this by candlelight. This is a result of the power outage caused by the snow storm raging outside. Hopefully it will be days and not weeks before the power is restored and I will be able to post this online. Thankfully we have enough milk, eggs, bread and toilet paper to get us through until June.

Yeah right…what a rip off! It was all we heard for a week. The big storm coming at us for the weekend. No weather person would go on record and tell us exactly how much snow we would get. Only that it was going to be a lot.

“We’re going to get at least this much and maybe more.”

I should’ve realized from all the sleazy club owners I’ve worked for through the years. You never get the more.

So with the big storm coming Saturday, the stores were packed with panicked shoppers on Friday. Everybody was stocking up with enough supplies to last until summer when we could once again leave our homes. Can you explain why in the hell anybody has to buy rolls of toilet paper by the gross?

This Blows!

This Blows!

 

Seems like it was just a few weeks ago that temperatures were in the 80’s. Probably because it was just a few weeks ago that temperatures were in the 80’s. Looks like we’re skipping fall this year and heading straight into winter. It went from the 80’s to the 40’s and keeps dropping. Went right past the 60’s and 50’s.

We should be allowed to ease into it. Like getting in a hot bath. Don’t just end summer and smack us right in the face with winter.

On Thursday the weather is calling for rain, sleet, snow and dark of night…even the mailman is saying,

“Why did I take that stupid oath? Nobody should have to go out in this!”

It didn’t take the first day of cold weather this year before people were telling me,

“They’re calling for a really bad winter with a lot of snow.”

What’s The Deal?

What’s The Deal?

 

It’s not supposed to work like this. What I’m talking about is the first day of fall. Yesterday, the last day of summer was in the 80’s and humid. Perfect summer weather. Then you wake up today and you can feel the chill in the air…Ok, I’m writing this in advance and basing it on the weather forecasts.

Not that the weather people are ever wrong. I’m not saying that. No, not like the time when I didn’t bother to do my homework because we were going to get between eight inches and two feet of snow. No way there would be school the next day, so why waste my time doing homework that I wouldn’t have to hand in.

My father was actually laughing when he woke me the next morning to inform me that not a single flake had fallen. I was cursing the weatherman all the way to school. It was a man in this case and I won’t associated him with any negativity. Especially since he just passed away recently. You can figure it out.

Anyway, this is not the way fall is supposed to arrive. You don’t show up right on time. If you’re invited to a party that starts at 7, you’re not walking up the steps to the door at 6:59. That’s kind of what fall is doing here. Showing up as we’re just getting out of the shower.

Nothing Original

Nothing Original

 

You may have already seen this photo, if so I apologize… Or maybe not. It seemed appropriate after our recent bout of heavy rain and flooding. To be followed by another round of heavy rain and flooding this coming weekend. Not to mention the times of heavy rains and flooding throughout much of the year. It seems like we’re having nothing but sequels.

When you think about it, why should the weather be different than everything else? Television is filled with remakes and reboots. “Murphy Brown” is coming back. Hawaii Five-O came back. “Magnum P.I”. is back, but not with the real Magnum. I haven’t seen it, so I’m guessing he’s supposed to be Magnum’s son.

Maybe not. I don’t know. If that were the case it probably would have been called “Magnum Jr.”, “Little Magnum” or “Son of a P…I”

“Rosanne” is coming back again…except without Rosanne. She’s still out because of her late night racist tweets. So now she’s dead…not for real, just TV dead. So the show will be called “The Connors”, because calling the show “Rosanne” without an actual Rosanne would confuse people…I wish I meant that as a joke but, you know.
