by drugs you mean construct a truly massive sunlamp... in space?

[nietzscheansmut]

Judging by this morning's weather, I'm inclined to say that what this city needs is probably to be on fewer drugs. Perhaps this calls for an intervention?

[flawlessnight]

YESS! I totally thought the same thing!

Except, to stage an intervention we would need:
-an umbrella ten miles in diameter, or
-a gigantic phoenix to flap its wings and blow the clouds away, or
-to install a sun. Maybe the old one burned out? What happened to that old thing, anyway?

[nietzscheansmut]

I think, were this city not on so much acid as to make all of Renn Fayre look insignificant, that this sort of thing would not happen. Seriously, I think the only reasonable explanation is that the city...not its population, mind you, but the city itself, is tripping balls.

what is this "snow" thing you speak of? and what does it have to do with march?

[nietzscheansmut]

While this is pretty bloody strange, it's still not quite as much so as that snowstorm last year, which happened in the late afternoon in mid-April. There were small piles of ice and snow on all the sidewalks, and veritable rivers of ice water running through the gutters.

April blizzards bring May, um, wizards?

[raranax]

Giant lizards!

raptors in the library means I don't have to finish my thesis!

[blue_pluto]

wow. I'll stop complaining about potential rain over here then....

damn.

[psychosnake]

And me, I'll stop complaining about the wind-chill here in other-wise sunny San Luis Obispo.

Thank you for the reality check.
