To repeat the title, Damn, it's snowing again. There's already a film covering the ground. I need to drive in 45 minutes, I don't have much choice. Just because I can drive in this stuff and know how doesn't mean I like to.

In 1st Grade we weren't allowed to throw snowballs, but then we moved to Oly and then Aberdeen. In 2nd Grade, in Aberdeen, we had a woman principal who loved snowball fights and designated an area of the playground for that.
Please give me a second grace. Please give me a second face. I've fallen far down, the first time around, now I just sit on the ground in your way.
