OGT DAILY - Day Fifty Nine HIBERNATION

What an utter luxury.   The return of winter affirms my belief in seasons, which smacks of my nostalgia for "the way it used to be."   There is no need to hurry when you know you can't go anywhere and there were seriously no cars on the road today for hours.  Not even snow plows.   It must have been three o'clock before they emerged in force and the snow had finally dwindled to a fine mist.   Isn't that the purpose of snow to force a bit of hibernation?   Internal reflection? Making of fires and hot pots of tea?   Then I have only experienced Xmas in California once and have never lived in Florida.


Perhaps this is just part of my east coast bubble or is it nostalgia for when America was still great?But it sure seems we were all ready for a little break.

Much as I love snow in February for my birthday though, I think I'm going to have to learn how to adjust to our a climate even if it means blizzards in April and Indian summer in February.   That's our new reality.

Today we shoveled a foot and a half of heavy granular snow off the walks and drive, but I also called Elliot Engel and told him to vote against the healthcare bill.   Both are a drop in the bucket, but we have to hope all those drops add up.
