Snowy Monday...

[fajrdrako]

The world was brightly drawn today: everything had hard edges. Yesterday nothing had hard edges, with buildings and houses just being dark shapes in the environment. There are now six-foot snowbanks outside my apartment building. I remember snowbanks like that in my childhood. (Not because there was more snow then, but because there was less snow removal.)

I walked to the bus stop at sunrise, and the world was crystalline. The were predicting more snow on the radio, but the sky was perfectly clear - amber and orange near the horizon. Quite lovely.

I passed a man who was sweeping a foot of snow pillowed on top of his car. "This is ridiculous," he said.

Oh yes, the snow pillows!

What's worse is when idiots go driving away (often on freeways) with their snow pillows still in place - they just brush off the windshields. Then the snow blows off onto the windshields of other cars! Need I repeat 'idiot'? :-)

I've been guilty of this. :(

Moral of the story: clean the roof!

Haha, I do it sometimes because I actually like the flying snow as I drive, it's exciting and looks pretty, and snow and slush and water is already flying at your on the highway, what's a little more snow?

But I drive in Michigan, and we are all crazy.

It's worst when it's from a truck!

So, I read that as "I passed a man who was sweeping his pillow of snow with care."

A typo. I meant 'car', of course. Your reading is rather delightfully surreal. Shall I claim that all that snow was affecting my brain?
