Froth

The one thing I dred more than being stuck at home for weeks on end during the winter is the eventual thaw. This eventual thaw that will come may be days or weeks away, but when it comes it will be a muddy, brown and red slop for weeks. It will eventually dry out, but the landscape continues to grow grayer and browner until the spring sun comes. The spring sun is one of the most fickle times of sunlight, ever. You sit there during the weekend and look at the pearly clouds and bright blue sky on the clearest of days and watch the winds and it looks good. But looks are not reality. The reality of the looks are freezing winds that suck all of the heat out of you and rock you back as you stand outside in shorts, wondering how you were fooled. There are only two pure types of seasons. There is winter, true winter, where there is snow after snow and the days are gray and pretty, and there is summer, bright and sweating and everlasting.

How to be dramatic; a movie dialogue.

There are two dirty teenagers in a parking lot. Sitting along the bumper of a Gremlin. It is August. They just drank down three 2 liter bottles of generic Mountain Dew in 2.5 minutes. They are considering puking, but have decided against it, instead....

Stew: "Hey Flo, it's really hot outside in the parking lot."

Flo: "Yeah, it's August."

Stew: (heavy sigh flutters his trash stash) (then grabs stomach) Ouch, I'm going to need some pink before I puke on the Gremlin. (Falls to knees) Why did we drink it that fast, why'd you have to dare me!? Owwwaaaaooooo (makes a face)

Flo: "Shut it Annie, we both know that if we drank it at a reasonable pace we would have just had to buy more later. Now we'll be so sick all day. Win, win situation."

Stew: "Damn innovator."

Flo: "I just saved you some money, now get up and respect yourself before I go find you a women's speed stick."

Stew: "Be nice, my bowels are going down Niagra right now."

Flo: "Eww. How much longer do we have to stay here? I think I'm getting a bit red."

Stew: "Hehehe all that nice ginger blood. You're going to be crispy by the time we get out of here. I don't plan on leaving."

Flo: "Why did you bring me? My stomach is knifing...owwww."

Stew: "Owwwwwwwwwwwww"

Flo: "Owwwwwwwwwwww"

Stew: "Arrrrrrrrrrr"

Flo: "Harken!"

Stew: "Whaaaaat?"

Flo: "Over there by the blue Subaru!"

Stew "What is THAT!?"

Flo: " A miracle..."
