Life is skittles and life is beer

It snowed this afternoon. There are little drifts everywhere.

This is a silly climate.

(Zen Cho's "起狮，行礼 (Rising Lion—The Lion Bows)," however, is a terrific story.)

This is a silly climate.

On Friday I went out to the suburbs to see my old high school best friend for the first time in half a dozen years (he was in town visiting his Mom). I told him "it was fated that the next time we would meet, I would turn off the air conditioner in my car and step out into snow." Which is exactly what I had just done. I think that went beyond silly towards the surreal.

. . . Why did you have your air conditioner on?

It was 70 out that day, the car had been sitting in the sun, and I tend to use the A/C in borderline conditions anyway. In fact, I did turn it on and off a couple of times during the last half of the drive, but it was on when I pulled into their driveway -- which had a small surviving patch of snow a few paces to the left of where I stopped the car. I did go out of my way to step in it -- I couldn't resist. Seventy-degree days with snow still on the ground are to be toyed with!
