Silly, quirky nature

I feel so much better about myself today. I was starting to think I was weak of mind and spirit with the way I’ve been complaining about the cold, gray skies. It turns out I am not alone. Aha! On the front page of the local section is a big picture with the caption “Anyone seen the sun?” The corresponding article explains how a simple little quirk of nature is to blame. According to the article, “the southern valley is basically a bowl” and the air here is “dirtier, colder and smellier.”

I’m surprised they didn’t just go ahead and call it a toilet bowl.
