Down to Earth Dave’s Post of the Day–January 3

Salutations, Gentle Reader,

Well, Mother Nature has shared a beautiful blanket of white on this first Friday of 2014.  Many grumble about snow; I love the stuff.  I was out early with my Poms, Heidi and JonJon.  Tiny flakes, driven by the wind, temps in single digits, my beard literally freezing from the condensation of my breath…  Question my sanity, but I love it!  The Pomeranians, undaunted by the drifts that were as high as their own diminutive stature, bounded with glee.

Gentle Reader, I know I usually dedicate Fridays to haiku, but I beg your indulgence to allow me to share some pictures related to life in NYC when there’s snow–and a couple of pics of Heidi and JonJon, who is posing in his best smoker’s imitation.

Remain calm, and speak well.

Be kind to yourself.  Be kind to the planet.  Cause no suffering.  Go Vegan!
