My View From Here

 "Good morning, here's a look at your national weather." The weatherman/girl stands in the middle of the picture and points all over the east coast.  "Horrific storm here, cars all over the place, ice, electricity out all up and down this area.  "Then into the south, more snow, and cold weather.  Could be a real weather breeder.  Well, that's a look at your national weather, now we'll return to your regular programming."  Hey, wait a minute, where are WE? Where's Wyoming?  Montana?  Where are all the states west of the Mississippi?  Where's Hawaii and Alaska maybe even Canada, you're standing in front of us!  the West Coast?  where's Idaho for pete's sake? 

What happened is what always happens.  We go about our digging out, braving the cold in secret almost glad that nobody knows we're here.  Maybe that's what makes us such independent spirits.     Diane
