There’s a drought out there in California and the West,
while here in the East there is nothing but flooding. Last winter there were
predictions of the most heated summer ever, that it would be worst than normal,
yet the summer has been more fall-like than summer-like. Someone’s screwing up!
Coupled with the climatic changes we are now facing here in
America, some insidious force has trusted upon my being, a head cold of some
kind, or some crazy allergy, which crimps my style and makes me not the happy
person I am. This has got to stop, and stop immediately, if not sooner.
Mom had a cure for both issues mentioned above-“Put on your
boots and go to school, you’ll be fine” and “Take an aspirin and go to school,
you’ll be fine.” To this day, whenever I feel like there is a lot of rain
coming or a head cold is developing, I go to school.
Since I married, I get little sympathy for floods or head
colds, since TLW (The Little Woman) is too busy looking for her boots or
staying away from me. I always have the memories of pre-marital days gone by,
when she wouldn’t think of leaving my side. Now she usually sends me to school.
So are we witnessing the beginnings of a new ice age? Does
Al Gore now become of little consequence? Oh wait a minute he did that already
when he became the Vice President. And what about the cure for the common cold,
where is that? They can cure a rat of autism but they can’t cure him of a common cold!
Frankly, I don’t think my colds are common, no I think of them as ‘special’.
If I don’t feel better soon, you will be hearing from me
again.
