The Weather Today - 14 December 2003

Not quite as good a shot as Claes, but over Christmas, after taking a fair amount of teasing from his uncle (my brother - the comedian), my 11 year old hurled a snow ball and hit him right in the hand that was holding a freshly opened beer. (It was one of those 'warm' days with great packing snow and the sun was out making it rather pleasant) My brother immediately accused him of "alcohol abuse" and turned into a great snowball fight.

Do you think if you practiced all winter and then through spring, that by summer you could do it?

Possibly, but I'm unlikley to find out. My neighbour seems to be smelling a rat. No matter how nicely I ask him he simply refuses to stand below that roof edge again. Now that I think of it, several neighbours seem to sneak back inside when I'm around.

Wonder if they don't they like me anymore

Why would they suspect Claes of doing anything like that, surley not.

Well, after all the snow here today, I feel like I'm home. I hate the cold without snow.

Ralph,
I'll take the snow here today over Hugo anyday! And while I'm thinking about it, I'd take it over earthquakes, mudslides, Palmetto bugs, Fire Ants, etc. etc.
