I love this place.

August 12-Moved to our new home in Michigan. It is so wonderful here, Lake
Michigan is magnificent. Can hardly wait to see the snow on the trees.

October 14-Michigan is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are
turning shades of red and orange. Went for a drive through the forest near
Lake Michigan and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly, they are
the most wonderful animals on earth. Saw the sunset over the lake. This
must be paradise. I love it here.

November 11-Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to
kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here more
each day!

December 1-5:00 pm. It is starting to snow. The first snow of the season
and the first one we have seen in years. The wife and I took our hot buttered
rums and sat by the picture window watching the snowflakes drift down,
clinging to the trees and covering the ground. It was sooooo beautiful.

December 2-Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looked like
a picture perfect postcard. We went outside and had a snowball fight (I
won).
Later, I shoveled snow for the first time in years and loved it. I did
both our driveway and our sidewalk. Later, a city snowplow came along and
accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street.
The driver smiled and waved. I waved back and shoveled it again. What a
beautiful place, I love Michigan.

December 8-It snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temperature
dropped to around 11 degrees. Several limbs on the trees and shrubs
snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shoveled the driveway again. Shortly
afterwards, the snowplow came by and did his trick again. Much of the
snow is now brownish gray.

December 12-Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush which
soon became ice when the temperature dropped again. Bought studded snow tires
for the car. Fell on my ass in the driveway, shoveling after the snowplow
came through for the third time that day. $145.00 to the chiropractor,
but nothing was broken. More snow and ice expected.

December 13-More snow fell last night. I have blisters on my hands from
shoveling. I think the snowplow hides around the curve and waits until I
am done shoveling the driveway. Asshole!

December 25-Merry Christmas! More snow. If I ever get my hands on that
son-of-a bitch who drives that snow plow, I swear I will kill the bastard.
Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the damn ice.

December 27-More snow fell last night. Been inside for three days except
for shoveling out the driveway after that snowplow goes through every
time.
Can't go anywhere, car is stuck in a mountain of white. The weatherman
says to expect another 10" of snow again tonight. Do you know how many shovelfuls
of snow 10" is?

December 28-The weatherman had his head up his ass--we got 24" of snow
this time. At this rate, it wont melt before the summer. The snowplow got
stuck in the road and that bastard came to the door and asked to borrow my
shovel. After I told I had broken six shovels already, shoveling all the snow he
pushed in the driveway, I broke my last one over his head. I couldn't
find my ice ax to finish him off---it was buried under a snowdrift!!

December 29-2 degrees outside. More snow. Not a tree or shrub on our
property that hasn't been damaged. Power was off most of the night.
Tried to keep from freezing to death with candles and kerosene heater, which
tipped over and nearly burned the house down. I managed to put the flames
out but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands and lost all my eyelashes
and eyebrows. On the way home from the emergency room, I slid on the ice
trying to miss a deer and almost put the car in Lake Michigan. Totaled the car anyways
against an iceberg- yes, an iceberg in the Lake Michigan shoreline!!! I
should have hit the damn deer and taken my chances. Those damn beasts
should be killed. Wish the hunters had killed them ALL last November.

January 4-Damn snow, it just keeps coming down. Have to put on all the
clothes we own just to get to the mailbox. Power still off. Toilet froze
and part of the roof has started to cave in. Tried to take a piss outside
and ended up with a dicksicle.

January 7-Sixteen more inches of snow, sleet, ice and who knows what else
fell last night. I wounded the snowplow driver with the ice ax, but he
got away. Wife left me. Car won't start. I think I am going snow blind. I
can't move my toes. Haven't seen the sun in weeks. More snow predicted.
Wind chill minus 22 degrees.

January 8-Moved back to Texas. I can't imagine why anyone in their right
mind would ever live in that God forsaken State of Michigan.

Damn, now I'm homesick.

Welcome to winter in Upstate NY. That shit's fucking evil. That white crap that falls from the sky should be annhialated.

[Daki]

Only 20 below? Meh. Wusses.

[Cazmonster]

Only 20 below? Meh. Wusses.

That's because the mobs in Chicago have the good sense to spend their ill-gotten gains on snow removal and salt depositing.

If you guys think you have lots of snow, never come to canada during winter

[Gunny]

I did that once. Somehow I got talked into going on the roof of my Canuk friend's house and he pushed me off into a snow drift that came 3/4 up the side of his house.

I think everyone down the street heard me scream when he pushed me.

I heard about the almost non-stop storm that's been hititng Ontario for the last week. I will say now what I told the Senior Manager when I talked to her... "You live in bloody Canada. This should be nothing new to you. That's like people in Chicago saying they can't believe how cold it is."

November 11-Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to
kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here more
each day!

I love killing deer! Those monsters will conquer human kind one day! We must stop them!

Plus, they make great jerky.
