every flake of fucking snow isn't newsworthy.
sincerely,
the residents of st louis



last night, st louis was blanketed by a soft white coat, dulling sound and insulating the ground. two inches of snow. to hear the news people last night, we were going to have to tunnel our way to the grocery store to fight our fellow citizens for milk and bread (*). apparently, 25 years ago yesterday, st louis was hit with the blizzard of '82. what the local news people don't seem to realize is that that was in fact twenty-fucking-five fucking years ago. who the hell cares what the weather was like 25 years ago? what will it be like tomorrow? i don't have to go to work 25 years ago.

(*) why milk and bread? when i hear it's going to snow a lot, i try to get to the store for beer, whiskey, and tomato paste. god knows we don't want to run out.
