Snow

                                  DEAR DIARY

AUG 12   Moved to our new home in upstate Connecticut. It is so beautiful
here. The mountains are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see them with
snow on them. I love it here.

OCT 14   Upstate Connecticut is the most beautiful place on earth. The
leaves are turned all the colors and shades of red and orange. Went for a
ride through the beautiful mountains and saw some deer. They are so
graceful, certainly they are the most wonderful animal on earth. This
must be paradise. I love it here.

NOV 11   Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to
kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here.

DEC 2    It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with
white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off
the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won), and
when the snow plow came by, we had to shovel again. What a beautiful place.
I love upstate Connecticut.

DEC 12   More snow last night. I love it. The snow plow did his trick
again to the driveway. I love it here!

DEC 19   More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to
work. I am exhausted from shoveling. Fucking snow plow.

DEC 22   More of that white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on my
hands from shoveling. I think the snow plow hides around the curve and
waits until I'm done shoveling the driveway. Asshole!

DEC 25   Merry Fucking Christmas! More friggin snow. If I ever get my
hands on that son-of-a-bitch who drives that snow plow, I swear I'll kill
the bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt
the fucking ice.

DEC 27   More white shit last night. Been inside for 3 days except for
shoveling out the driveway after that snow plow goes through every time.
Can't go anywhere, car's stuck in a mountain of white shit. The
weatherman says to expect another 10" of the shit again tonight. Do you
know how many shovels full of snow 10" is?

DEC 28   The fucking weatherman was wrong. We got 34" of that white shit
this time. At this rate it won't melt before next summer. The snow plow
got stuck up the road and that bastard came to the door and asked to
borrow my shovel. After I told him I had broken six shovels already
shoveling  all the shit he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last one
over his fucking head.

JAN 4   Finally out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and
on the way back a damned deer ran in front of the car and I hit it. Did
about $3,000 damage to the car. Those fucking beasts should be killed.
Wish the hunters had killed them all last November.

MAY 3   Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing
is rusting out from that fucking salt they put all over the road.

MAY 10   Moved back to Texas. I can't imagine why anyone in their right
mind would want to live in that God-forsaken state of Connecticut.
