Impending Doom

We're surrounded. Resistance is futile. Any minute now - it's 9:25 - the bastard snow will come and make our Friday commute to work a minor disaster. There's nothing more irritating than the overnight snowstorm on a weeknight. It means that I have to get up a half hour earlier than usual, which translates to actually getting up when the alarm goes off rather than rolling over and listening to the radio. Then, it's the slippery trog to the car to enjoy the wonderful experience of sweeping snow off the windshield, headlights and taillights; trying to get the wipers thawed enough to actually sweep a clean line and trying to keep the windows from glazing over with fog or whatever that crap is that starts when the car starts moving.
What adds insult to injury is that during the day it's supposed to change to rain, so the overnight snow is nothing more than a cruel joke played by nature. Clean it up, suckers, I'm going to wash it away while you're at work. The last time a cruel joke like that was played on us was the first time Barbara Bush got pregnant.
We'll be cleaning that one up for years.
Hey, I managed to turn a weather-related rant into an anti-Bush post. This blogging stuff is fun sometimes.

Ugh. That sounds awful. It's been raining like crazy down here.

It's sooo easy to turn everything anti Bush. I can take a big poop and am reminded of Bush's policies. All big piles o' shit.
