Okay, I know it can be beautiful (it is here right now anyway) but it just sucks big as well. Storm comes in, lotsa' snow, lotsa' gawdamn ICE! Trees are beautiful, the landscapes are lovely, the roads are gawdawful. Every year this happens and some years worse than others...........I tried the more temperate climes but like a dumbass I keep coming home to Ohio..................***SIGH***..............The power has been out for 3 days and just came back on........It used to be an adventure and now its a pain in the ass..............Old age is setting in.

As I've gotten older I've noticed that at times it crosses my mind that there will only be some smaller number of "somethings" left to do--fewer camping trips, fewer Christmastimes......counting down in a way. I guess that might be a bit natural, realizing mortality and all. Generally when one of those thoughts comes along I might feel a bit sad for a minute or two but I tell ya' what........when I consider that the number of winters I have left are equally diminishing it brings a smile and a warm, fuzzy, feeling...............

Fuck winter.
