Why close a school because of two inches? To make sure the kids don't have fun in the schoolyard?
I have good news today. Now we have about four inches here, and it is still snowing. It feels good, mainly because it makes me relax a bit about the world climate (don't get me wrong I'm still worried). But also because the reflections from the snow gives more light. We will not see the sun here until the 12th of February. With no snow, it becomes very dark at this time of year. About a third of the population suffers from light depressions because of this. Lack of daylight affects the chemistry of the brain, the experts tell us. Don't know if it's true, but it sure feels true to me. But, right now, that does not matter. Now it is snowing :-) Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Beaker Sent: 22. januar 2007 04:48 To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Peso - My own HDR Tim- You should come to Washington DC for a snow. Flurries make people nervous. An inch will cause a run on toilet paper and milk. 2 inches make officials talk about closing school. 6 inches will close the city... Well, that may be a little exaggerated, but it can get pretty comical. And they have gotten better about snow removal in recent years.
