Washington DC and Maryland voted for Barack Obama in numbers larger than many other states. And then he calls us "wimps."He did this even after many of us stood for HOURS on War Memorial Plaza in Baltimore the Saturday before the inauguration and froze our "tookus(s)" off. Literally my feet have never been so cold. Still more of us stood on the Mall in DC on innauguration day and again withstood the 7 degree temperatures.
Well, any way.
When it looks like this outside...
I do not drive. period.My point is... in Chicago and in many other wintery places it gets cold and it stays cold. Here in Baltimore it snows and then melts to a minor degree and then it refreezes. It does this all winter. If you do not have this experience you will likely criticize those of us who have been here for a long time. We know that people fall and hurt themselves, cars slide, wreck and then insurance rates go up.
If I only had to go down stairs to work or let someone else drive me there I would have been in my office today. But I'm not. I decided to remain safe, at home and work on my quilt.
