The Winter Blahs ...
For anyone who has ever experienced the winter blahs living in the desolate regions of Canada's East coast, you ... you can empathize with Sara Beth's (one of the lead characters in the sequel to The War Bug ... and a close personal friend) rant on winter, which goes like this:
"Why, Why do we stay here? Why do we crawl into our hatchbacks to force open our frozen car doors from the inside? Why? Why do we endure the trauma of frozen metal on our bare pinkie fingers. Why does the frozen metal insist on taking off the top layer of skin from our defenseless digits?
What is the purpose, when the flu pandemic\war bug is going to turn us all into frozen remnants for scientists to find hundreds of years from now in the exact poses we died in..."
Sara Beth ... I am not worthy. None of us are worthy. I erect in my mind a monument to your infinite insight.

my word! the winter is of no such. I am not a great writer or.. but i find you are sooo negative of things.. just let life and people be.and start to live it for what it is. perhaps you and yours are secluded yourself in some small atmosphere where you can not see otherwise. have you's ever lived outside your Own private "fredericton"..
I lived in Germany for three years in the 60's. We had snow twice in three years. It rained a lot, but you don't have to shovel or scrape rain. The only concession I'll make to winter is the beauty some days hold when the sun shines on the snow on a day that's not too cold. Those days aren't too bad. As for Fredericton ... there's much to be said.
