cold

I agree with the idea that its entirely ridiculous to live in an environment where you have to shield yourself off from the elements for nearly half of the year so you won't die. I'm speaking, of course, of my home......michigan. There is a storm, ANOTHER one, blowing in tonight. Snow falling at a slant due to the wind, and with no trees to stop it because of clear cutting done long before I was born, the road placement in this county is anyone's guess.
Our pipes froze and burst. Too cold under the house or some damn thing and we have no water. Hurray for house ownership. So I am one with the furry creatures, squatting in the storm to pee.
This is perfectly stupid. Not peeing outside, I mean enduring this weather for months on end. I am seriously thinking that it would be a good idea to live where cold meant 40 degrees and snow gets everyone excited because it only lasts a few hours. I encourage all my friends and family to come with me, let's leave this madness behind. We don't need to shiver, we don't deserve frozen toes and endless cloudy days....it's our human birthright to see the sun!!!!! You know it's true.
Somewhere there's a place for us. I'm going to look at realtor.com right now. I do not damn this town, it's been done. I just want out.
good luck and good night
