"'Tis the Season!"

Observations by someone who doesn't celebrate a December holiday:

( Cut to protect those that like this time of year. )

On this day in 365 Urban Species: Red clover, another post with a freakish photo of a flower blooming in a verdant urban lot in the end of December. Honestly, I was so lucky last year that it didn't ice over until January/February.

Which one is the States' Rights party again?

Now why would a Republican administration try to interfere with a STATE'S RIGHT to make it's own fuel efficiency standards?

Weather report.

I feel bad for the WBUR announcer that I heard on the radio saying "tomorrow's snow will not accumulate," every 10 minutes on the 11 (or whatever). That lie must have been ringing in his ears as he scraped the ice off his car this morning, and as he dug his car out of the snow this afternoon, and as he scraped the boot-packed powder off his sidewalk. "I can't believe I said that the snow wouldn't accumulate 47 times yesterday," he thought to himself. At least he could blame Accuweather, or whoever supplies the official information, and at least every forecaster in the city was uniformly wrong.

You know who I don't feel bad for? This jackass. It's people like him that make walking the dogs blogably infuriating, and his kind of behavior even gets people killed.
