Idle Thoughts

Well, the weatherman lied as usual. It's been colder than those couple of days were, and snowier too. Oh well.

The holidays, so far, have been quiet. I'm working on a new project in writing, exploring a genre I've not before given thought to. I'm not going to go into it now, but I'll keep you apprised of the progress without going into much detail until I'm ready to reveal things.

Other than that, here's to the New Year. May it be a damn sight better than this last one!

BRRRRRRR!

According to the weather prediction I saw before this lovely blast hit us, these are supposed to be the coldest days all season. I think I can live with that. Of course, that means that other snows will be warmer, and likely wetter, so they'll be heavier.
My only consoling thought is that my brother has to break out his sweater! Miami's lows are down near 40 degrees. Poor him.

'Tis the Season...

to be grumpy, I guess. I was in the parking lot of one of our mega-sprawls when I saw a pick-up truck pull out of a space behind me. I raced around the section to get back to it before it was gone. As I pulled in, I noticed a car just pulling up with it's blinker on.
"Didn't you see my blinker?" The woman driving asked.
"Yes, I did." I said, making sure my door was locked properly.
"I was waiting for you to pass. That's my spot." She said angrily. "Don't you know common courtesy?"
In my cheeriest voice possible, I said "Lady, you wouldn't know courtesy if it came up and bit you on the nose."
"You're a dick." She said as I walked towards my destination.
I thought of the perfect come-back while I was inside the store. I should have said "Yes, I'm a dick. You're a bitch. Let's have sex."
I wonder what her reaction would have been?
