fancier than regular snow


I stole this picture of snow from a foreign friend. It is foreign snow. It is imported snow. That is why it is fancier than your snow. As for those fancy foreign plants; I have no idea what those are. Mind your own business and do not go pestering the foreigner through me.

I was weatherizing my front door this morning to try to stop the freezing wind from whistling around the jamb (blackberry, with bees added in it) (there is a pun hidden in the previous parentheses) and I was sighing thinking "it would be better now if this half screen half glass door was a glass door. Maybe I could get some more glass to put in it. What A Bother. If it had more glass in it, probably the screen also wouldn't be sort of funky from cats and knees and whatnot poking it semi out of its frame... SAY. WHAT IS THIS? YAR!"

I noticed that the one piece of glass was just raised up in its little metal track to be with the other piece of glass, to let the bottom part be screen. I lowered it back down and now there was glass and no whistling wind in both halves. I felt very stupid, but also on the other hand rather happy. For me, this is a familiar combination. I decided to see it as just another example of "right where the problem seems to be, the solution is."

HAHAHA...I have done the same exact thing with a screen door. Who knew something could be so annoyingly simple to solve.

Hi Calfkeeper! I'm impressed that your blorg keeps going reliably (versus 5B which struggles kind of fitfully on) despite how many more chores you have than, well, me certainly. HAPPY 2011.
