It's cold enough here to make the grass crunchy outside. I took the dog out for a walk and stepped on one of his presents from the day before. It exploded into crystal powder. Kinda cool..and gross. We're supposed to get some snow sometime tomorrow, i think. Nothing big, but probably just enough to make my wife's trip to Bowling Green a bit of a hazard. We don't get a lot of snow around here. It might dump 4-6" at a time. That's a BIG snow. However, last year, right before Christmas, we had 24" dump on us. The worst storm in 96 years or something. Luckily, any time the weather is the least little bit bad, I just close the shop. If i can't get to work, then there aren't going to be any people to come in and buy anything. Any phone calls can be answered the next nice day. That's what answering machines are for.
This weather talk does remind me of my junior year of high school. We had a really nice girl from Eastern Europe as an exchange student that year. Very cute blond girl that spoke in broken english. Anyway, it was February and time for track season to start. Everyone was out there dressed in sweats, thermals, hats, earmuffs, etc. Not this girl (her name escapes me). She came out in shorts and a t-shirt. The coach asked her if she had forgotten her sweats, and that she could borrow some of the warm up suits. She said "no thanks yous". It was on that day that we found out she was from Siberia. Here we were freezing to death in the 34 degree weather, and this girl said it felt like "later springs-time".
Nice girl, I wonder what ever happened to her when she went back home.
