Once Again...
It's been a while. It seems I'm growing lazy in my old age. Been hanging out on one of the top morning shows in town all week. That's always interesting.
More interesting is the reaction of people here in Portland when the threat of snow is upon us. First thing that happens is that everyone heads to the tire stores to get snow and studded tires on their cars. Then they head to the supermarkets and buy out everything, because who knows whether or not you'll need pledge during the impending disaster. Finally the panic grows to the point where the cacophony of sound about the storm becomes mind-numbing...people smother their pets to save them from the long, cold death ahead...they pre-emptively abandon their cars on hills...they write letters to loved ones saying goodbye...oh wait...it's only rain...morons.
