Re: The weather

God,

I was just wondering whether something was wrong with the sun or something. We'd like to see it. It's one of Your finest creations, and we've been missing it quite a bit lately. Some of the most suspicious among us have begun concocting wild theories that somehow it has gotten broken and replaced with a bank of low wattage fluourescent lights, but You're sorta embarrassed about the whole thing and still tinkering with the set-up, and that's why the light is so low and there has been no break in the cloud cover for what, the last three weeks????

C'mon, big guy. Break out Your squeegee and clean off the sky, wouldja? Because there are some light-starved people down here who are ready to set some pretty big fires or nuclear explosions or something if they don't see the sun soon. Between You and me, they're kinda scary. Really, we don't want them to get out of control.

We could use the sun up here, too. Especially as clear sky tends to drop the temperature slightly. We've been right on the line of freezing-and-melting for the whole time the clouds have been about. This means slush in day, and fresh ice on the streets at night. A solid freeze that stays frozen is a vast improvement for walking and driving.

(And for me personally, my winter boots are no longer waterproof, and not in a way that can be fixed with a spray, so they're ONLY good when the temperature drops a bit more. Rrrr.)
