Put on a Coat...

So after a record 16 blogs for me last month, apparently I am slowing down this month. Either that or nothing noteworthy has been happening in my life. So Super Tuesday came and went and Obama had a great showing. He continues to surprise people by winning states he "shouldn't." I am hoping that Michigan decides to have another caucus here. There has been talks lately, due to the fact that the race is so close, that we will have a real caucus so our delegates can be seated at the convention. It would be nice if our state was recognized, mostly because for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how an entire state (or two) can be ignored simply because of the date we cast our ballots. It would be unfair however to seat the delegates and not have another vote. Hillary was the only one on the ticket and therefore obviously won the state. I'm interested to see what is going to happen...














In other news, I'm getting tired of watching people "suffer" through the winter. There seems to be a disconnect between when you are a kid and when you are in college of how to dress for winter. It used to be that you put on 8 layers, then snow pants, boots, gloves, a hat, a scarf and an 8 inch thick winter coat to brave the elements of a Michigan winter. Then you get to high school and realize that since you aren't playing in the snow that much anymore that you can just wear a fleece or whatever. And that was okay, you're only exposed to the elements from the time it takes you to walk from your car into the school. But when you get to college things change. When you have to walk 15 or 20 minutes you need to dress like you should. Everyday I drive around and see all these kids trying to look hip with their north face fleece and no hat, or gloves or anything else. They hunch over and keep their head down with their feet shoved into their pockets in an effort to block the wind when all they really need to do is put on a coat.

News flash: A fleece is not a coat. It's an accessory. Sure it keeps you warm. In the fall. When there isn't a wind chill of -9 degrees. When the leaves start to change and the air is crisp. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of fleece "jackets." I have 4 of them actually. They are all wonderful when the weather is above 30 degrees or if I'm just going to Meijers. But if i see another person walking to class looking like they are gonna cry, shivering their balls off, I'm gonna kill them. I'm gonna strangle them with a scarf actually. I don't understand. When I go out I pretty much dress like I did when I was 6 and I'm toasty. I could play in the snow for hours and not be cold at all. My point is, if you live in a place where it snows, you need to wear a winter coat. Or get pneumonia. And die. Slowly.

Anyways, I didn't really have anything else to say but felt I needed to mention something. Go big and stuff...
