The end is nigh! Really. Seriously.

It snowed in the desert today. It’s snowed here before. I remember five distinct times in my 44 years here that it has snowed. What made this day different was that it snowed during the day. It started around 11:00 and stopped around 12:30. Real honest to God snow. From the sky. Usually what happens here is that the weather man comes on in the evening and hints that it might snow that night and the homeless people should find shelter and you should let your dogs in the house. Then all the school children pray for snow. Pray pray pray – to God, Zeus, Odin – anyone who’ll listen. I talked to Odin a lot when I was younger figuring if anyone knew about snow it would be a Norse god, right? It rarely happened, but some mornings you’d wake up and there would be a very thin layer or snow on the ground. Not enough to make a snowman out of or even a very good snowball, but that wouldn’t stop us from trying. We’d run to all the neighbor’s houses and scrap all their snow up and cart it back to your own yard. Often we’d build a mud man and then cover it in snow. It was a feeble attempt, but we weren’t swayed from our plan.

So now Ava and I are wondering where the hell is Global Warming?
