Valentine's Day is coming, although I don't need a holiday to mix romance with late-Anthropocene apocalyptic visions.  In keeping with my song theme, I wonder how lovers will frolic in the acid rain under an ozone-less sky?  Sounds like a battlefield to me.

We got three feet of snow this weekend.  After two days of slogging and shoveling, I am finally able to appreciate the beauty.  Birds are going crazy at my feeder.  It's beautiful to watch their colorful flittering and flight against the snowy background.

A storm's heading our way, and people are saying we could get three feet of snow!  I hope we don't lose electricity.  Here's a little electric boogie dance to keep the wires alive.
