Rational Madness

Monday, March 13, 2006

Stuff Magazine's March 2006 edition lists the 25 greatest "Media whores" of the past year-- people and things that have hogged the spotlight like crazy last year. That list includes Tom Cruise, Tupac Shakur and Lindsay Lohan. And the number one whore? Mother Nature.
***
Mother Nature has been very nice to me this past year. The infamous frigidity of Minnesota winter did not come at all. And below zero days were few and far between and happened mostly during late November. Even Minnesotans were pleasantly surprised that while New York and the East Coast was being battered by bad snowy weather, we here were feeling 40-degree sunshiney days (a joy in winter, I tell ye).
***
Fast forward to today. Spring will be in a little over a week, with the Spring equinox scheduled on the 21st. But wait, Mother Nature wants winter to end with a bang! Picture this. Last week, the highest temperature was 51 degrees. And today, we are in the middle of a snow storm that threatens to bury Minneapolis in 8 inches of white, glistening splendor. That means bad traffic, slippery roads and ear muffs to combat frostbite.
***
Yes, Mother Nature is darn sick of TomKat's and Brangelina's faces on every other tabloid and wants to make it clear she wants her share of media attention. Somebody get the paparazzi here already before she unleashes a blizzard of apocalyptic proportions!!!!
