December's End. Forecast for Snow.
"Some people love waking to the sight of new snow. Fallen snow is fine, but I like the sight of it falling, fine as dust or so fat you can hear it land against the kitchen window. I like the tunnel of dry snow you drive through at night, the headlights blanking out a few yards ahead, and the feeling that you're driving into some abysmal vacuum. I like the ground-blizzards and the snow that slithers down the road ahead of you. What I like is the visual impairment snow brings with it, the way it obscures some things and defines others, like the wind." - ---Verlyn Klinkenborg from The Rural Life
Is Matt the owner?
ReplyDeletesad really........economic downturn....
ReplyDeleteIt is sad, but better to laugh in the face of adversity, than cry... so I'm told.
ReplyDeleteAt least he's got a sense of humour. I'm not sure I'd be able to smile if it was my store. Luck to him, I say.
ReplyDeleteAt least their Dignity is only slightly discounted!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's nice that they are able to get a laugh out of a bad economy. Very funny!
ReplyDeleteBetter laughter than tears.
ReplyDeleteI want some cheap dignity and the 60% off basic neurosurgery. Bittersweet...
ReplyDeleteA thousand comedians out of work and they're making jokes!
ReplyDeleteBetter to laugh than to cry.
ReplyDeleteHere's to gallows humor! I'm interested in the basic neurosurgery myself, if I can watch!
ReplyDeleteYou're all much more sensitive than I am obviously. Here I was all excited about the prospect of discount neurosurgery AND ham hocks all in one spot:>)
ReplyDeleteWhew!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you!
I laughed, hard.
My husband's company went out of business, last Sept, got a new job, and that company went out of business in Feb.
We must laugh...
if not we sink into morbid reflection...
Smiling thru the rain.
