Jesus, will this shit ever stop? Another front came through and dumped even more snow on Western Washington. As a kid I loved snow. But as a vehicle-driving adult, I learned to hate snow. Now, I’m back to kid-like feelings about snow, well, maybe 80% for and 20% against. If it snows in the north Sound, it’s highly likely we’re not going into the office. Oh, we still have to work — we telecommute from home — but we don’t have to make the soul-crushing 100-mile, two and a half hour commute. When the weather guessers spin their wheel o’ precipitation, and it lands on “snow,” our carpool gets as excited as a gaggle of queers in a leap frog contest. Lately I feel like I’m 13 again, listening to the school closure list for “851″ on WCOJ 1420 AM. If we heard the radio list 851 on the closure list, it meant no school. The full school district name is announced on TV and radio here in Washington, and it seems so inefficient. Amateurs.
Since it snowed, we didn’t head into the office. Although we made a valiant effort trying. It was 35°F when I woke up at 4:00am. The first thing I did was check the traffic cameras on the state’s transportation site from Mount Vernon to Everett. No snow. Doppler radar showed precipitation over head, but there was nothing falling. I got ready to go and met up with the car pool… Aw, fuck the long story. I’m too tired and too old to type it all out. Let’s fast-forward to crossing Deception Pass Bridge. It was just starting to flurry, and the highway was only damp. The further east we drove, the heavier the snow was falling. We didn’t even make it past the Swinomish reservation before the highway was so slippery, the car’s traction control was kicking in trying to save our fat asses. We turned around and headed home to .
Oh Jebus H. McChrist! Tina’s watching the premier of American Idol 6 as I type this. What in the southern fried fuck makes these people believe they can sing? Goddamn! Some of these people sound like a pygmy goat trying to queef out a Whitney Houston song. I think I’m getting a headache.
Well, crap. I’ve completely lost the desire to write more. I have to pee, and I’m tired of looking at a computer. I have a few more topics to cover… including one that might even get me into some trouble. I’ll Wikipediafy this update and call it a done deal. Sorry for the shortness. I’ll try to do better next time.
