What the F*#$?!
Fierce Winter storms, devastating tsunamis, torrential rains, mass flooding, mud slides...what the hell is going on? If locusts start coming in droves, that's it, I'm out. But seriously, did I miss a memo or something? Has the Greenhouse Effect or the Hole in the Ozone Layer stepped things up a notch?
It is approaching the middle of January and as I was driving home from work today I glanced at the thermometer in my rearview mirror (what an awesome little device) and saw 64 degrees staring back at me. 64 degrees!?! Now, I knew the weathercrews on the news were all calling for 60 degree weather today but until you really see the figure for yourself it's just kinda unreal. I was dumbfounded. What is going on with these screwy weather conditions?
To be honest, things have been changing for a while now. The Summers have been intensive and scorching lately, the tansitional seasons of Spring and Autumn have been pretty brief for the most part. Maybe I just never paid much attention as a kid growing up but I just don't remember the seasons being like this. I never worried about sunscreen like I do now and I was outside way more back then. I remembered the seasons as being very distinct but now, they just sorta all get mushed together and overlap, or worse yet hop back and forth as if Mother Nature herself can't seem to make up her mind what she's gonna do.
Then I stop at another stoplight and glance up at the rearview mirror again and do a doubletake. It now says 67 degrees. I glance at my wintercoat that's wadded up and staring back at me from the passenger's seat. I know if it could talk it'd say, "I don't know what the f*#$ is going on either man."

Damn bro---Sounds pretty bitter in Minnesota. And the weather seems kinda "bitey" as well. You're always welcome to come to Ohio to thaw out. Ha!
