With the melt comes the sick
Snow is rapidly retreating.. though with more than 4 feet of this crap, it's not rapid enough. The mountians in front of my house are finally low enough that I can see the street again. There is room for more snow should we get it, and trust me, I'm not ruling out an April Fools storm.. 2 so far in the last 18 years.. you never know anymore.
Ryther is sick. Probably picked it up at PAX. Not sure if the boy is sick. He'll be coming home tomorrow for a week of 'spring break'. School is going well for him, his grades are decent. He has had one issue with his roomate, who got stinking drunk and urinated in his dresser drawer. He wasn't going to tell me this.. lol. I'm not sure if he thought I'd pull him out of school or what. His roomate, being the ass he is it seems, didn't offer to clean up his mess or even pay to clean the clothes. I guess it could have been worse, it could have been vomit. Himself went to the powers that be, and nothing was done. He's supposed to get reimbursed for the cost of cleaning the clothes. The kicker is this roomate will be an RA? or whaterver the innitials are for the people who are there for students to go to when they need help with something. He'll get free room for this. And guess what, there was a beer bottle in the room when Himself got dropped off last week. So I guess he'll be the kind to overlook the ban on alchohol in the dorms. Which if you go to college to party.. I guess that's great. But if you don't want to live in a dorm that smells of vomit and piss.. don't go to him. Ug. Hey, they want to party, that's their problem.. but keep it out of the dorms. IMHO. Especially if you cant get to the frigging bathroom to take a fucking piss. That's so gross.
The only good thing is that at least next year Himself will be rooming with a friend he knows. It will be nice for him to be able to actually use the microwave and fridge next year, which he has had no use of this year because they belong to the other guy. Sad.
Got a call on a funeral, or rather someone to go in the tomb, because there is still no way to do a dig yet. The funeral home said they had to shut down one of their funeral homes and use it just to store bodies. That is unheard of. Though its kind of odd too, since the cemteries should have room for at least some boies in there tombs. Unless they are also full up. What a nightmare winter. Go away snow.. go away!
I'm watching FB and the news about the controversy over the photo of the baby in the flag being held by the soldier. I think it's an amazing photo, very symbolic. I know it violates the 'rules' about how to display a flag and such, but seriously, its an amazing photo. And if you go to her site on FB and read the many many many pro-photo comments by veterans (of which she is also one) I think the rules people can go jump in a lake. And oddly, someone posted a photo of Lincoln sitting in a chair in a tent, and behind him is a table with a flag draped over it like a tablecloth.. so if that's okay, this seems fine. But I'm no soldier or patriot, so what do I know?
