Dear Weather,

SNOW?! It's May. I'm not even supposed to still have my studded tires on! I was getting so excited because we were down to one tiny patch of snow in the yard.

And you decided to torment me with more.

I was good this winter. I did my chores, turned in my homework on time, and was nice to my coworkers. I let others merge into my lane (even the giant trucks with "Sierra Club Sucks!" bumper stickers).

I know I should make hay while the sun shines, but there was yard work to do this weekend, and I was really, really looking forward to getting back on my bike this morning. And I woke up to a white blanket on everything.

Can there please be no more snow until, say, October? That'd be nifty.

Sunshine and flowers,

Cindy


Dear Traffic Enforcement Division,

I know I'm supposed to have my studded tires changed over by May 1. I'll do it this week, I swear, as soon as my mechanic can fit me in.

Any chance you can continue to look the other way and not write me a ticket? I won't complain if you do, because I'll deserve it, but it would be super-nifty-neat-o if you cut me some slack.

I'll even stop plugging strangers' meters for the WHOLE month of June if you hold up your end of the bargain.

Hopefully,

Cindy
