That was Saturday for me. Now it’s 75 degrees. Ah, spring.

Its 60s, rainy, and windy, because it now rains more here than in Seattle. At least its not cold rain. Too much of that is hard on the soul.

As a kid, snow meant fun. As an adult, my lower back just shudders at the thought of shoveling all that shit.

Does Egg like the snow?

And yes, it's definitely time to write, Chuck. You are gonna need A LOT of material to keep your house warm in the coming days haha

It was 90 degrees this Friday. I had to make sure to dress for summer these last couple of days and then our nearest Home Depot burned down to the ground which was wild. Your view on the other hand looks quite peaceful and cozy.

Holy shit...RIP to that Home Depot. I don't think they stood a chance against the fire. They have so much wood in there.

Word! We could see the smoke from our house! Apparently it could be seen from space. It was wild!

Aliens saw it and said : "eh, that's just another home depot on fire"

I have a funny feeling it was arson. There was a pet daycare next to them too! I hope they got every soul out.

The dog is just starring at the giant floating head in the bushes

Presumably that’s where the body was buried

Hey Chuck, do you have a favorite story structure?

Hero's Journey?

Save the Cat Beat Sheet?

Dan Harmon's Plot Embryo?

Freytag's Pyramid?

The Three Act Structure?

Our Boston Terrier Burton is also not a fan of snow (or it’s summer relative rain either.) Unfortunately for him we moved from South Africa to northern Italy a couple of years ago - so he sees lots of it.

My sympathies to Miss Egg. Hope the power outages don’t last long!!! Ohio weather has had some thundersnow moments. Friggin’ wacky over here. Been reading “Delores Claiborne.” The Sandra Bernhardt book you suggested arrived!

Also— saw a house in the beginnings of being caught on fire coming home from work early at 1am. Called 911– man and dog were safe—- house is a total loss. Freaky!!

To all you guys in the snow, stay safe and look after each other.

Poor Egg.

I've been in the South Pacific where suffocated by 99% humidity and equatorial sun. That looks like paradise.
