Snow Day

It's funny how weather unites people.  How even adults get excited about 'snow days.'  I just walked to the entrance of our neighborhood and was greeted by more neighbors than I've even seen in the last month, much less spoken to.  I even had a short conversation with a guy who was smoking a cigar while watching is son snow-blow half of the street so they could go to work tomorrow.  People complain about being snowed-in and how the plows won't come for days...but secretly they enjoy it...they like the adventure, the digging out, the feeling like they're 'roughing it.'  By no means is this really a crisis...I'm sure all my neighbors have plenty of food and other necessities, along with all the latest electronic devices to keep them occupied and even connected to work.  But there's still just something about a snow day that thrills us all and makes even grown men feel like kids again. :)  Happy Snow Day to all!
