02. 4.08 First Snow |
Yesterday, walking down Broadway, I notice a woman in her late twenties playfully jumping and stomping in a snowbank. She stomps a few steps, stops to look at the sole of her boot, and then continues on. I watch for a minute in confusion until she looks up and sees me staring.
She blushes and shyly admits, "I just moved here from Texas last week."
I shrug my shoulders and nod. "That's cool."
While the rest of the city is complaining about the snow, this woman is loving every minute of it.
This woman clearly needs medication, or as your post today indicates, on Oprah. She is one in a million. I for one would fit right in in Chicago cause I am SICK of winter! You should check on Reggie, he has not posted in AGES!
I concur...being a transplant directly from Texas (where they are experiencing 85 degree weather as we speak might I add), have never shared this womans sentiment for the snow or a Chicago winter for that fact. I say treat her like we would back home with a lame horse take her out back of the wood shed and deal with her "accordingly"
I think it's inspiring when people can appreciate the beauty of the everyday world. It's my second winter and I'm still in awe when I see a tree entirely covered in glittering ice.
Of course, I'm also sick to death of the weather, so make of that what you will.
