Chemical attack

Just like it does every year, the planet (aka Mother Nature) has started a chemical attack on Philadelphia.
Which refers to the fine white powder that's all over everything outside just now, killing small animals and sensitive plants.
Have I noted before that I really really hate winter?
Oh, I know, there are people who love winter, love winter sports, love snow, whatever.
They can have my seat at the Winter Festival anytime. In perpetuity.
I'd much rather (as I have in the past and, hopefully, will again) celebrate Christmas and New Year's in Honolulu, Miami, or (if Castro would only get around to dying and take communism to the grave with him ) Havana, like Hemingway.
Actually, Hemingway's pattern of winter in Cuba and summers in Idaho doesn't sound bad at all. Never been to Cuba, but Idaho is nice in the summertime...
