Arrrggg!

After a delightful stroll on the Brooklyn Bridge underneath a gorgeous azure sky and plenty of sunshine yesterday (pictures are coming), I awoke this morning to pleasant weather forecasts of a big blizzard that will dump 6 to 9 inches of snow here today. WTF?!?!! What is wrong with this place?? It's a week into April for God's sake!! If I were still in MN I wouldn't be surprised, but this is insane!! And of course many schools were listed as closed for the day. What a bunch of little wimps!! When I was going to school, we didn't get a snow day unless the temperature is 25 below with a wind chill of 60 below, there is zero visibility on the road, and the principal went into epileptic seizure. Ok, maybe that last part was a bit of an exaggeration but we were definitely tougher than these little New York pansies. And I thought New Yorkers are tough.

On an unrelated note, I'm still shocked and saddened by David Bloom's death. I used to watch NBC news a lot and always watched him reporting from the White House. At the time, I thought he was pretty funny because his mouth was always shooting nonstop in all directions when he talked. I'm going to miss him. Why did it have to be him and not some Fox News asshole?
