Clouds

Soundless giants of the air,
Drifting slowly everywhere,
Softly flowing, gentle flight,
Unseen shadows in the night.

Summer skies of azure blue,
Often hold a cloud or two.
Snowbank castles looking down,
At the lowlifes on the ground.

In Winter skies they do convene,
To cover up our muddy scene.
Some ugliness just has to go,
So then they cover it with snow.

Grazing sheep of soundless tread,
Passing slowly overhead,
Our miasmas upward creep,
To make these gentle creatures weep.

A dog had followed his owner to school. His owner was a fourth grader at a public elementary school. When the bell rang, the dog sidled inside the building and made it all the way to the child's classroom with him before a teacher noticed him and shoo'ed him back outside, and closing the door behind him. The dog sat down outside the door, whimpering and staring at the closed doors and not understanding in the least as to why he was refused entry. Then - God appeared beside the dog, patted him on the head to comfort him, and said, "Don't feel bad fella'.... they won't let ME in there either."

Snow here shuts everything down. I can drive in pretty crappy conditions but the roads get closed or blocked by the idiots. So I just stay home.

Good morning, everyone. This is MamaBear posting under Amy's login. We made it here, safe and sound. It is snowing, coming down pretty good.

We are going out to scout out the area an, then this evening we'll go over to the Washington Plaza for dinner.

Will report back later. Have a good day.

Wasn't here much at all yesterday, had to finish the work I left on Friday.

How's the weather there?

We just had several days of below zero and single digit temps. Yesterday it got to 42 and today it's supposed to be in the 50's. "If you don't like the weather in the midwest, wait 5 minutes, it will change..." Unfortuately we have not had our normal amount of precip., it's been a little dry.

See you around.

Well, yes. CA's can't drive in the rain.

But then again, they can't drive through boulders either.
