My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Snow!!!!!!!
Nah, that was something else
Re: Snow!!!!!!!
Just rain here. Except for a small, rapidly melting, drift outside my front door, bizzarely.
Damn my freezing house!
Re: Snow!!!!!!!
Snow is beautiful in small doses, but a major pain in the arse if you are responsible for keeping your driveways and homes clear of it, or if you are relegated to public transportation, cycling, and lots of walking (i.e. you choose not to drive). I grew up in Sacramento, where I can only remember it snowing enough to make a (feeble) snowman once in my entire life. I spent last winter in Reno, and experienced one of that town's nastier snowbound winters. Man, I did NOT enjoy it; frankly, it SUCKED. Now in New Jersey, I'm bracing myself, as I've been told it snows here a lot in winter also. At least here there will be one other able-bodied man who can help keep the driveway and homestead clear of it. The wife has plenty to do inside, and the kids are all under age six and won't be of any use.
I will be happier when I can relocate to a place where snow isn't so prevalent in winter time. I'll be content to visit pretty winter wonderlands when I choose to, and then go home to a warmer, dryer environment.

White powder! I love the stuff!
I like snow too.
Re: Snow!!!!!!!
Got a couple inches here in mass, awesome.
I always thought shoveling the driveway was kinda fun
Re: Snow!!!!!!!
I can't say that I have ever experienced the joy (or otherwise) of shovelling my driveway, since Dundee City Council provides large Grit boxes at the end of most streets for people to go and take some grit from for pavements, roads, driveways, et cetera.

It was not theirs to make reply,
It was theirs but to do or die.
