Snowpocalypse

I'm thinking about a lot of things today.

1) the approaching snowpocalypse in the northeast of the united states and whether or not it actually is approaching.

2) visions of my cats and I stretched for days on end in front of the blazing fireplace with nothing to do but

Blog
Make jewelry
Do art
Diffuse essential oils
Do snow photoshoots
Clean
Drink coffee
Edit said photoshoot photos
Write in journal

3) how the impending snowmageddon (term given to me by a friend) (snowpocalypse came to me via "popocalypse" - when the pope came to Philly) is keeping me from making commission, hourly, and tips today

4) how much power meteorologists have over the public

For example, it has not started precipitating in any way yet and SEPTA is closed for all of tomorrow.

 

*Public transportation of every form will be closed in the southeast of PA for an entire day because important people put value in what other important people say.*

Those important people are proficient in predicting weather as a result of schooling, continued education, and experience in the field.

I am also considering a "hypothetical" predicament. Consider the following: Friday is "Free Wax" day. Sara comes on Friday knowing she can get anything she wants waxed for free, but is turned away because her hair is too short to wax.  She reschedules for a week from that day when her hair will be long enough.

 

Question #1) when Sara returns in a week to get waxed, should the center extend last week's free waxing promotion to her?

Question #2) what if Sara believes her service will be free because of her special circumstances only to discover AFTER receiving the service that she is going to be charged full price?

Write out a comment to see what "Hypothetically" happened and how I "Hypothetically" feel about this.

Did you know that the Pope also went to Kenya? I heard it was an even bigger deal than when Obama visited. It's funny what shows up on the news and what doesn't.

Oh, just so you know, I wrote most of this article before it started snowing.  My dad drove me home from work and his snow tires performed wonderfully.  When I get a new car, I'm getting snow tires so I can be just like him.  I observed many people driving cautiously and appreciate the community effort to avoid collisions.  I can't help but feel, though, as the inch of snow lays atop the asphalt, that a visitor from Minnesota or Massachusetts might think we Pennsylvanians handle snow poorly.  "One inch of snow and these idiots freak out!"

There is a book, "Left of Bang," sitting next to me.  It's written by a Marine General all about trusting and improving one's instinct and danger detection in all areas of life. 

Perhaps that is why the leader of SEPTA decided to shut everything down tomorrow; maybe he read "Left of Bang" and chose to follow his heart.
