Reasons besides being cold that I am sick to death of winter this year:
1. My apartment sits back off the street, and my bedroom window looks onto the alley. I am sick to death of listening to the snow removal trucks in the parking lot of the condo building across the alley. The scraping of the giant blade against the pavement, and the way the driver revs the engine over and over and over again is driving me mad.
2. The guy down the alley will get up tomorrow morning and come out to shovel snow down the alley. Again, a piece of metal scraping against the pavement. Over and over and over again.
3. People put salt on their sidewalks that burns dog paws.
4. Whenever the weather is at all inclement, especially when there’s snow, traffic here snarls up. Tonight, the bus was literally a traveling sardine can. On the bright side of this, people were decent to each other, and there was a bit of merriment, even.
Sending other people's children away to fight a "war."
