"Divided"

"Always winter never Christmas" at least that's how C.S. Lewis saw the depths of winter. It's very cold this time around unlike the previous few winters..climate change. Cold, but here on the coast because the ocean is warmer..again climate change there's not much snow. I always felt that snow especially the light crystalline kind was the blessing of winter. 

However it's just dry bitterly cold, and grey. Mind you I'm not longing for the dreaded NYC heatwaves. Good grief I can live without them Remember I wrote that last summer the heat was so intense that it was drying the moisture in people's eyes!

Wow!!

Still I miss the snow. It's been a few years since we had a good white out here in the Emerald City.  I recall the great 2009 Times Square snowball fight during the "Boxing Day" blizzard.

Now that was fun..see above.

That's what I'd like. 

Still maybe it's for the best that we're spared the icy drifts this cycle 'round. Tragically there are 'still' so many without power or heat because of Hurricane Sandy. Things have moved on, and many have been left behind.

The Republicans in Congress stalled the relief funds for months. My gawd what sort of people are these? People suffered, and they only cared about their extreme ideology. There was just a trickle of help for a long while. Fortunately Obama was finally able to get some of the funds through. However because of our corrosive political divides it's billions less than needed.

This country is so divided, and spiritually corrupt today. Still some help is coming now that's to the good. We must have Hope for our collective future.
