Extremely random notes from the Heartland

1. I'm marooned inside, somewhat like an unwitting Ted Kaczinsky, due to a blizzard, and because the blizzard is enraging me, I'm wondering if I would be calm and happy if I had underground parking instead of facing the fact of digging my car out of 900 feet of snow and then having nowhere to park it. I don't have "chilblains," but in some ways, it was easier for the Ingalls family in "The Long Winter," and I don't even have Pa here to play his fiddle.
2. I recently went to the Tornado Room and enjoyed the crudites displayed in a 1950s-era water glass, but found the food overrated .. but, I really like saying "crudites,"..
3. At the handbag department in Macy's, observing a sales clerk named "Heather," I realized life would be much easier for the transgendered if one didn't start out 6 foot 3 inches tall with a deep baritone voice. It was way easier for Felicity Huffman.
