I've seen this written for other states also. I toned it down to PG though

Dear Diary...

August 15 - Moved to our new home in Michigan. It's so beautiful here. The lake to the north looks so majestic. I can hardly wait to see it snow covered. I'm going to love it here!

October 14 - Michigan is definitely the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves have turned all the colors and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the park and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly they are the most wonderful animals on earth. This must be paradise, I LOVE IT HERE!!

November 10 - Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous animal. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here. Those red and orange leaves have covered my yard. Looks like a magnificent multi-colored carpet. HOW BEAUTIFUL. Raking and cleaning up the yard will be an opportunity for invigorating exercise in the cool crisp air.

November 15 - Ah, more leaves and more exercise.

November 18 - Jesus, still more leaves. Guess it's best to wait until they've all fallen before I rake again.

November 25 - Finally, all of the trees lost their leaves and with today's final raking it's over for this season. Chiropractor suggested I use a lawn maintenance service next year. Only four blisters became infected. Should probably remember to use gloves.

November 30 - What the heck? Where did all of those leaves come from? Had a little wind last night and the lawn is covered again. Oh well, they'll just have to wait until spring.

December 12 - It snowed last night, FINALLY. Woke up to find everything blanketed in white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. Had a snowball fight (I won) and when the snowplow came by and we had to shovel the end of the driveway again.
What a beautiful place. I Love Michigan!

December 14 - More snow last night, I love it. The snow plow did his trick to the driveway again. I Love it here.

December 19 - More snow again last night. Can't get out of the driveway. Can't to get to work. I'm exhausted from shoveling. Dam snowplow.

December 22 - More snow fell again last night. As if dealing with the leaves weren't bad enough, now I've got blisters all over my hands from shoveling, must remember to wear gloves. I think the snowplow hides around the corner and waits until I'm finished shoveling the driveway.

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

December 27 - More snow last night. Have been inside for three days except for shoveling out the driveway after that plow goes through every time. Gloves got wet and then froze on my hands. Doctor said it was just a mild case of frost bite, disfiguration is probably only temporary. Can't go anywhere, car is stuck in a mountain of white snow. The weatherman says to expect another 10 inches of the snow tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10 inches is?

December 28 - The weatherman was wrong. We got 34 inches of snow. At this rate it won't melt 'till summer. The snow plow got stuck up the road and the bastard came to the door and asked to borrow a shovel. After I told him I'd already broken six of them shoveling all the snow he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last one on his head.

January 4 - Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back I hit a deer that ran in front of my car. Did about $3000 damage. Wish the hunters had killed them all last November.

May 3 - Took the car to the garage in town. The thing is rusting out from all the salt they put all over the roads.

May 10 - Moved to Naples Florida. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever live in that God forsaken state of Michigan!

Ahhhhhh so true it is. Great one Ray.

I went out 2 hrs ago with the snowblower and did the 4 1/2" on the driveway and sidewlk. Right now you cant even tell I was out there.

I need to write a poem about all the people who drive in the snow, that have no business being on the road. I want to install bars on the front of my van, so I can push them out of the way. lol

[flash]

Go get them Ms Grumpy.

I consider myself a pretty good driver. I let people in, if they have their blinker on. I follow most of the rules of the road, speed limits....those are negotiable. But I have to wonder what they are teaching in drivers education classes, if anything, cause it certainly isn't what I learned when I took drivers ed.

I wish that people had to take a test, road test especially, more than every few years. With all the video game technology, you would think that they could come up with a road course that could test peoples ability to drive. I bet at least 1/3 of the people that drive would fail.

Me, I would fail cause I would be passing all the cars in front of me, zig zagging down the course. But I would use my blinker, which is something that a lot of people don't even know what it is.

[Ms Grumpy]

But, if they had a road test for donuts, especially in the snow. I would pass with an A++. Yesterday I was doing donuts in my van and scared the crap out of my son. lol !

I hate waiting at an intersection for a car, no turn indicator, then they turn. I could have pulled out but now I can't because another car has come along while I waited for the idiot that can't use their turn indicator.

[flash]

Turn signals appear to be optional equipment in Georgia ,but I do use mine.
