In This City

After falling off the wagon, and allowing the blogosphere to breathe and continue on its merry way, I am sticking my finger on the spinning globe smack on the City of Seattle. Posts have come and gone. Tweets have flittered about. And videos have up and down loaded on the Tube. Sometimes you just need to get you feet back on the street.

In this city, a city known for rain, we have had a hard time shaking the snow. Down on the street, waiting for an eventual red light to become green; a fine resident of this city called down to me: "SNOW?!@?#" I looked around from the intersection and found him on a second floor landing smoking a cigarette and replied, "Yes!" He then spoke to something greater than me, looking out on the city and demanded: "Haven't we had enough?!?!?!"

So, while the snowflakes were of the short lived variety, they still lived for a time in this city: enough to matter to at least one man having a cigarette and someone who tried to capture them with a camera. While they were able to return for a short time, maybe for the last time; they too will be back.
