On My Mind #4: Chopped, Screwed, and Rain

Plus Purple Drank

Dear Readers,

My wife left yesterday for a little rest and relaxation in Colombia. She will thus have the great privilege of getting reacquainted with sunshine.

For those of you not in the American Midwest—it’s been raining, and raining, and raining, and when not raining, it’s been grey, grey, grey. Back before the big climate-change hoax, it would’ve been snowing around here on days like this. Snow is at least bright and pretty, and sometimes you get a day off from work and school to hang out with your kids, play board games, go sledding, and drink hot chocolate.

But now it’s just rain, rain, rain. Which is fine, to a point. I mean, I agree with John Lennon about not running and hiding your head and all of that, but this is getting ridiculous.
