Comments on: Snow Day http://edpas.net/journal/292/ Art, Photos, Cross-Cultural Miscellany, and Food Tue, 07 Jun 2011 00:49:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Arthur Slade http://edpas.net/journal/292/comment-page-1/#comment-1020 Arthur Slade Tue, 13 Mar 2007 16:50:29 +0000 http://edpas.net/journal/292/#comment-1020 I have reported this atrocity to city officials. You are supposed to shovel the snow 2.5 metres from your home and create proper draining troughs so that the melt progresses into the nearest drain. Nowhere in the civic ordinance compendium does it say you are allowed to create hominid snow piles. These will melt irregularly and flood your house, your neighbor's house, and perhaps cause a blowback of melting that will affect every household in Saskatoon. Expect the civic snow officers to appear at your door any second now. I have reported this atrocity to city officials.

She went back into the house before I finished. And now the snow folk are embracing entropy: 5 of the 11 figures fell over before the sun had set, and none of them have been enjoying the lengthening days of bright sunshine and above-freezing temperatures.

I suppose though you'd have had to have copied and pasted her many times to remain true to the concept. Smilingly Andy Hey Ed,

Nice to see your unmistakable style in such solid form, I confess though, I did want to see your wife’s lovely and sadly missed face peeping out from behind one of the snow beings! I suppose though you’d have had to have copied and pasted her many times to remain true to the concept.

Smilingly

Andy
