Weather Pride

“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”

– Mark Twain



Weather Pride…

Is about as superficial as it gets

Recalling stories

Telling tales

Posting screen shots of

Weather temperatures or

Old newspaper articles

Of how cold it once was

Or how cold it was

While one was sleeping

Under an electric blanket

In one’s geographical location

Like a cold badge of courage

Popsicle prick waving

In a short of way

“I was once in a place where it was 52 degrees below zero.”

Really, were you saving kittens, or rescuing homeless veterans?

“No, I was probably inside playing video games, by the fire.”

Fantastic.

Maybe it is not pride, perhaps informational, but what use less useless trivia. Look and hear how cold it is where I’m at.

Ummm………MOVE

If that negative declaration, doesn’t get one beaming with pride, to warm the cockles of their ego. They can also throw in the “wind” “chill” factor.

Not only was it minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit, but with the wind chill, it surpassed absolute zero…….

“Cold! If the thermometer had been an inch longer we’d all have frozen to death.”

– Mark Twain

That might be a bit of an exaggeration, maybe it was a brain that froze, into a slushy gray smoothie. Freezing a rational evolutionary mind into a snowflake fragile attachment to a temperature that essentially did not affect anyone in the first place.

“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

– Angelo Devlin
