Well someone ‘settling’ for me is about the best offer I’ve had in months.

Take me, I’m yours.

> No snow in Oklahoma??? What’s [this stuff](http://www.mortalwombat.com/Image/snowbug.jpg) on my car?

that’s frozen water. Wait, and by the end of the afternoon, I’ll bet most of it was melted. “Snow” is three feet that must be shoveled and doesn’t melt until May.

Trust me, I thought I knew what “snow” was when I lived in Tulsa. I found out what it was when I moved to Pennsylvania. (And I suppose I’d find out what snow REALLY is if I’d move to…say…Michigan…or Maine. But, I’m not.) 😃
