  • Riding around on a frozen lake on an ATV with my boy lemur

Good stuff. Just because it feels old by late Feb/early March is no reason to get sour on a great season ...
Well put. For us Virginians it just comes often enough to make everything look just 'cool'. I know no one from Massachusetts, Canada or Finland can appreciate this, but there's something just magical about it.

Then the plows come and spew out the brown sand everywhere and it looks like Mother Nature was food poisoned and took it out on all the curbs, but let us enjoy the first few hours please.
