Don’t wallop the weatherman …

…even though you may feel like it! He’s merely the messenger. I’ve heard and read predictions of at least one foot of snow, and maybe up to 16 inches before all is said and done … it is non-stop snow whatever the eventual amount is. Today the snow might have been good for kids to frolic and kick around in since it was not horribly frigid out. Perhaps there was even a chance to go sledding if there were nearby hills. At least with fun Winter activities one could enjoy the snow and put a positive spin on the whole event … but please, no snowball throwing! Although I love this picture of the old-fashioned misses clutching a snowball or two as the pair look ready for a good ol’ pelting, throwing snowballs is never a good idea. A high school classmate of mine was paralyzed from the waist down when his buddy unknowingly threw a snowball containing an embedded stone which pierced his young man’s lower back and caused permanent paralysis. Please stay safe and warm in this snowy and brrrrutally c-c-cold weather.

About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub
