As I write this on Saturday night, it’s cold and rainy, as it has been for the past couple of days, and supposedly it could turn to sleet and/or snow overnight.
But with all the rain, all I’m seeing is a dangerous trip to the store in the morning as the streets will probably turn into a solid sheet of ice. I hope I’m wrong, but I’m not counting on it. I don’t need bread, but I am out of milk, and you know how people get when ice or snow comes. I need some cocoa!
Still, I can be happy that down here we don’t get all that much in the way of harsh winter weather; but you would think that as much ice (in lieu of snow) as we usually get people would be better at driving on it … sigh …

I’ve yet to see something quite like this (the Bryant Park fountain in NYC) here, and hope I never do. Though it would be fun to watch it melt. Yeah, I’m weird. I know.

Why does this look like a mob of ravenous aliens about to eat us? Is it just me?

We got lucky this time and I am glad because my car doesn’t know how to ice skate.

I didn’t really see much ice until Monday, so that was good. I did have a squirrel scratching at the window, though.

I think watching ice melt is as exciting and entertaining as watching paint dry or grass grow. But if that is what you enjoy watching, I would definitely encourage you. No you are not weird.

Sometimes it’s preferable to whatever else is going on.

I am sure Sauron could easily ORC-estrat taking over the world with ice instead of fire. He might want to get Pinky and the Brain to help him as His minions.

If that squirrel was scratching at my window, I would respond by serenading it with the song, “I Hear You Knocking But You Can’t Come In”.
