No, dear one, that wave would not be frozen. We out west have been assaulted with record high temperatures this week. Meaning that never before in recorded history have we had such warm days in February. Do you know what that means? It means bright sunlight. Bright sun causes eye strain, child, the pain of which I hope you never have to endure. I myself ventured out into the elements yesterday and now I am suffering from sunburn.

I know you think you have it bad. I'm glad that your perception of hardship is only delusion and not personal experience. I dream of retiring someday to some nicer clime like yours, where I can gaze out the double-paned windows at the rainbows refracted through icicles while sipping my hot cocoa, where I will never again have to bear the dry fever of living under the merciless California sun. But for now, I am only thankful that my beloved Little Girl does not know the true horrors that nature can impose on us.

Oh, oh my. Ice crystals.

 

Listen, I'm tired of listening to you Midwestern ninnies complaining because the seasons have turned and, once again, surprise! It's winter.

 

You have no idea what hardship it is to live on the west coast with this horrific Mediterranean climate. No idea at all, and I'm glad that you have been spared. Because the things that nature pelts us with out here are terrible, sublime, and not to be controlled by the will of humankind. We have to face hardships that cannot be dispelled with a space heater. While you've been whining about your icicles, we have had to face the huge killer waves of the ocean wilderness.

 

Lordy, stop yer whinin', child.
