I predict this is coming home to you sooner than you think.
A long, cold winter indeed.
Has it really been seven months since I published here?
It's not like there haven't been things to talk about...
The most recent and disturbing is probably NBC coming to town to audition our citizens for their "The Biggest Loser" show. All kinds of jokes in there... But, when the producer says they're here because "people in the Midwest tend to be more open and don't have regional accents," he's leaving out the biggest reason of all (pun intended). We're super-duper fat here -- 'always preparing for a long hard winter' as it was described to me recently.
And then there's the streetlight fiasco. Everybody seems to want to blame somebody. But I used to live on east 29th street. I'm surprised more people aren't hit by cars over there. In broad daylight.
