1. CUTEST, SADDEST CAT IN EXISTENCE!!! What a great photo!

2. I’m so anxiously awaiting a dry spring… I’m DONE with this weather!!

3. Thank you! Someone has expressed how disgusting the weather is. Vancouver is gorgeous-and yes, I know it’s partly due to all fo the rain, but when I first moved up here that winter was one of the most difficult of my life. I was not used to the gray, dreary, no sunshine in my life rain! I am adjusting to it now, but this winter has also been a bit more like the winters of my youth.

   I too am constantly cursing my wet pant hems as I walk the short distance from my car to my school building. Why oh why must they soak halfway up the back of my leg when I am not even walking 200 feet?

4. That is a great picture. Please, please, please tell me there is a larger picture? Please please please tell me where you got it.

5. I sent you the link, Joey. Never say I don’t do you favours!

6. I talked to a Russian friend of mine who is here for school. He and I both agree: the reason SAD is so much worse here in Vancouver is because without snow on the ground from November to March, the shortest days of the year are still really short, but the nights are BLACK. BLACK like the Heart of Darkness. Black like Pickton’s soul black.

   When the snow is on the ground, every street light, every window light, every headlight reflects off EVERYTHING, positively lighting the world. It is beautiful, which helps, and it is bright. You can be out in the middle of the night and you will be able to see everything because as the story goes, “the moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave a lustre of mid-day to objects below.”

   In short, the snow makes the winter seem lighter. No snow, no light, more depression.
