Fate is laughing at us once again.

They have snow in Georgia. They have snow in Oklahoma. They have snow in Dallas, for God's sake.

Wanna know what we have? It ain't snow, but it still falls from the sky.

You betcha. It's been pissing down all day, and pretty much every flat surface out there is now an ice rink. And I'm getting frigging fed up with this -- I don't LIKE it, but I can deal with snow. But ice? The Swedes won't even use salt, for the love of Allah -- they keep spreading grit around like that's going to work. Grit is okay with snow -- it keeps it crunchy and gives you some traction. But ice? Grit doesn't do dick on ice.

Arrrrgh. I'm starting to wonder why I even bothered getting up this morning. And we have a party to go to tonight -- this is going to be a trip and a frigging half. Worst of all, I feel like somebody just worked me over with a sledgehammer from all this damn damp. Tina's aching, too, so I know it isn't a replay of the flu, and my back feels like it's on the verge of going out. Just fucking wonderful.

Look, do me a favor -- wake me up in April, okay? I just don't want to do this ice stuff anymore.
