SNOW February 2010

People may be surprised to learn this, but...


It snows in Ohio. A lot. http://www.amazon.com/Owl-Moon-Jane-Yolen/dp/0399214577

The sherpa accepts Huang's payment of one snowball for his services. Huang, a tourist from northern China, thinks that he has hoodwinked the sherpa, his paper money having been surreptitiously sewn into the lining of his coat days before. The sherpa, on the other hand, knows the true value of the snowball.

He has heard the ancient whispers in the mountain.

He knows what is to come.

And as he tucks away the snowball into his pack and prepares to walk away, he glaces at the unsuspecting tourist for the last time, knowing even now what is to be his fate. He feels no remorse. The mountain has chosen its victim.

The sun tucks under the horizon, and darkness falls.

Daddy got a snowblower from PawPaw Duffy, which he uses to RUIN THE HABITAT OF MY ENDANGERED KIND! AL GORE, SAVE ME! POLAR BEAR SADIE BESEECHES YOU!

OHHHHHHHHH.............. IT'S ON, NOW, SUCKAS! I AM GONNA OWN YOU!

This is me against a snow backdrop. Or maybe lying down. Ehhh... I'm going with snow backdrop.

No. Lying down! Is it too late to change my answer? It is?

DANGIT.

Agatha Christie's "Death in Perry Township."

This one is interesting, because on the right is an ANGEL in SNOW, and on the left is a...

...dork.

Is this a bad time to tell you I need a diaper change?
