'Tis the season for top ten lists, and other unbearable retrospective articles about The Year That Was … and while I was rather tempted to write something along those lines, really, who needs to read another list of the best, or worst, or "most memorable" of anything?
Sure, we could rehash the US presidential election, and pat our liberal selves on the back for voting a black man into office (or curse those damn liberals for letting One Of Them into the fabled halls of power … whichever you prefer, I suppose). We could rehash the financial meltdown of Western Civilization. We could do one last retrospective of Bush's documented lies, or embarrassingly misspoken quotes, or 10 biggest crimes against humanity…
…or we could just not.
I know the whole "those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it" thing. Hell, Washington ought to be thinking about that one right now … "Gee, look what happened in less than 10 years after we gutted the banking/investing legislation they put in place in the 1930s to prevent another Great Depression! We're headed for another Great Depression!"
But seriously … it's been between -35ºF and -40 for the last week, and in the last couple days it's dipped far enough below -50ºF that I suspect we may actually have hit -60ºF while I was sleeping. My dogs have suddenly mastered the art of completing their morning bathroom break in under two minutes. I haven't tried to start my truck in about a week. Even the folks up here are bitching about the insane fucking weather. Actually, that's about the only thing anyone's talking about.
