It's been a whacky weather day today. It's been snowing for most of the day, but it's not sticking. It goes back and forth between fluffy flakes, little pellets, and heavy snow, with a couple of breaks of near sun in between. Sometimes all of it in the span of about ten minutes!
On my break, I went to the bank wearing sunglasses, only to sit in the car five minutes later while the snow came down intensely. Another five minutes later, and it was clear (which is when I shot this pic). The pigeons are rightly confused. *g*
It's also been the sort of day when I want to just ask people what the @#$%& is wrong with them. My patience is gone, especially for stupidity. It's a good thing it's Friday.
For example: I want to ask the woman and her young son why they need a full-size pickup that gets nine miles per gallon to go to the tutor. I also want to ask the Republican congress critters why they think it's OK that millions of Americans aren't entitled to the same healthcare coverage that they get at no cost to them. Also, I wanted to tell the hairdresser in line at Starbucks that I think it's nice that he's friends with the barista, but I'd like my decaf mocha now, please. I don't get one very often, and I needed a treat today, and he's just shooting the breeze.
It's been a long week. Can you tell? *g*
