March Fools....

This isn't much of a blog.....all I did was just copy the list of "top stories" from CNN's main page. Is it just me, or does at least 2/3 of this list read as some sort of April Fool's joke? Can our news really be getting this insane? Just read it through and tell me if I'm wrong.

The lovely "upper midwest" is all set for its second major snowstorm of the season - within a week of each other. Seriously, we got through most of the winter with about 4 inches total of snow. And NOW, when it's time to think sun and green grass, we are getting shit on. Over a foot of snow this past weekend here - and now we have a winter storm warning that lasts until - get this - FRIDAY NIGHT. Seldom do we get a "warning" for 2 whole days. The prediction is for up to 20 inches of wet snow. I am scared to look out the windows - of course they might be buried by the end of this. Seriously, does anyone else who lives up here feel my pain and anger when we get these late-season blizzards? Or am I just a big whiney ass who should be thrown in a snow bank? For those of you who say things such as "oh, it's so pretty when it snows" or who wish that they had snow in their area - you are welcome to come over and take nice hefty samples from my front drive and walkways.
