The Ice Slick: An Apology
Mother Nature Speaks (A Drabble)!
Dear Montréal,
Well, this has been a fun two days.
Ha, ha.
Sorry, I am not well-known for my sense of humour. Often I have been told that I should mind my own business and know my place. Offensive, yes, but I can understand the sentiment. But I needed to vent a little before the season was over. I often feel that you do not appreciate what I give you every summer, and that winter is the price you gotta pay.
Seriously, maybe be a little more considerate.
And lay off all of that salt. It's a mess.
M. N.

Another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody… He was thinking of the same damn song every weekend now. The quarantine and the curfew were things he could get used to; there was a bit of luck in having a condo in the downtown core. At least it was in a part of town without his company's handiwork. It was a perfect example of cinema right in front of him (Hitchcock be damned), all silent and distant. So, he thought, I just needed to add a song.

Why Didn't Anyone Tell Us
Men, move along. This is not for you. This is for the women. I was forty-five when I began menopause. It is pretty young for that to be going on in a woman’s life, but I had undiagnosed PCOS, my entire life. Thank you to all the gynecologists I had seen my entire life. That in itself should encourage women to keep seeking second opinions, especially when you are not getting correct answers or any at all.

Haha so cute - Mother Nature lets us know. I wish they would use something other than salt🧐
I did not know Canada has that worries. I am glad they are telling their businesses to keep their employees home when it is unsafe. Great awareness story!
I grew up in MN, so I'm practically Canadian! 😁🙄 Actually, I do have Canadian relatives. So happy to be in Arizona though. This was fun! 💙
Cute stuff Kendall!
That's a Canadian problem. Made me smile
Montreal always has a mushy, blecky spring. I spent many a fun weekend there however when I lived in Vermont. Using French I asked some snarky expletive woman where there was a toilet for my then 3 year old and she said in French, "je parle francais". It was pouring cold rain and I got really mad and said something I shouldn't have.
she (mother nature) is a little bi-polar. I'm sorry, it had to be said
Damn! Quite a storm... It hit here in Ohio but thankfully all rain. Those were some monster trees that came down.
