Storm hit us with driving rain snow and high wind. I dressed for it and went out for a walk to the local supermarket. My wife and my neighbor think I'm nuts but 40 plus years of working on the water front in all kinds of weather makes a little stroll a cake walk. Actually it brings make memories of a time passed. In the distance i could hear the horns of ships even though I'm a few miles away. I spent many a night outside working in this weather and id be a liar if i said i dont miss it. It has its very own beauty thats hard to explain. The rain, snow sleet in your face , the driving wind and the smell of the salt air. The warmth of shelter and the smell and taste of a hot cup of coffee.
As you know Steve, I'll touch some base with you on this. you with this. In 67 in Chicago, I did have to deal with this, I know you've dealt with this **** as I have! I'm from Chicago, your from N.Y. I think you can relate why I hate that stuff even though I grew up in it. The west needs it, so I ain't bitchin, and I; sure our Ca. brethren are doing the same. I can remember my Mom, Bro, & I truckin down the main through fare in town, truckin to the food store for provisions with a sled with like 3 boxes to it. I think you can relate???.
