Winter In Massachusetts
August 12
Moved to our new home in Massachusetts. It is so wonderful here; Walden
Pond is magnificent. Can hardly wait to see snow on the trees.
October 14
Massachusetts is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are turning
shades of red and orange. Went for a drive through the forest near Walden
Pond and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly, they are the
most wonderful animals on earth. Saw the sunset over the lake. This
must be paradise. I love it here.
November 11
Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a
gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here more each day!
December 1
5:00 PM. It's starting to snow. The first of the season and the first one
we've seen in years. The wife and I took our hot buttered rums and sat by
the picture window, watching the snow flakes drift down, clinging to the
trees and covering the ground. It was soooo beautiful!
December 2
Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looked like a perfect
picture postcard. We went outside and had a snowball fight (I won). Later,
I shoveled snow for the first time in years and loved it. I did both our
driveway and our sidewalk. Later, a snowplow came along and accidentally
covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street.
The driver smiled and waved. I waved back and shoveled it again. What a
beautiful place; I love Massachusetts.
December 8
It snowed an additional 5 inches last night and the temperature has dropped
to around 11 degrees. Several limbs on the trees and shrubs snapped due to
the weight of the snow. I shoveled our driveway
again. Shortly afterwards the snowplow came by and did his trick again.
Much of the snow is now brownish-gray.
December 12
Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush which soon became ice
when the temperature dropped again. Bought studded snow tires for the
car. Fell on my ass in the driveway, shoveling after the snowplow came
through (for the third time that day). $145.00 to the chiropractor, but
nothing was broken. More snow and ice expected.
December 13
More of that white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands from
shoveling. I think the snow-plow hides around the curve and waits until I'm
done shoveling the driveway. Ass hole!
December 25
Merry God damn Christmas. More frigging snow. If I ever get my hands on
that son-of-a-bitch who drives the snow-plow, I swear I'll kill the
bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt
the damn ice.
December 27
More white shit last night. Been inside for three days except for shoveling
out the driveway after that snow-plow goes through every time. Can't go
anywhere, car's stuck in a mountain of white shit. The weatherman says to
expect another 10" of the shit again tonight.
Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10" is?
December 28
The f@*%ing weatherman had his head up his ass - we got 24" of that white
shit this time. At this rate, it won't melt before the summer. The
snow-plow got stuck in the road and that bastard came to the door and
asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him I had broken six shovels
already, shoveling all the shit he pushed into the driveway, I broke my
last one over his f@*%ing head. I couldn't find my ice ax to finish him
off - it was buried under a f@*%ing snowdrift!
December 29
2 degrees outside. More f@*%ing snow. Not a tree or shrub on our property
that hasn't been damaged. Power was off most of the night. Tried to keep
from freezing to death with candles and a kerosene
heater, which tipped over and nearly burned the house down. I managed to
put the flames out, but suffered 2nd degree burns on my hands and lost
all my eyelashes and eyebrows. On the way home from the emergency room, I
slid on the ice trying to miss a deer and almost put the car in the pond.
Totaled the car anyway against an iceberg - yes, a f@*%ing iceberg on the
f@*%ing Walden Pond shoreline! I should have hit the goddamn deer and
taken my chances.
Those f@*%ing beasts should be killed. Wish the hunters had killed them
ALL last November.
January 4
Goddamn mother-f@*%ing white shit keeps coming down. Have to put on all
the clothes we own just to get to the f@*%ing mailbox. Power still off.
Toilet froze and part of the roof has started to cave in.
Tried to take a piss outside and ended up with a dicksicle.
January 7
Sixteen goddamn more f@*%ing inches of f@*%ing snow and f@*%ing sleet and
f@*%ing ice and god knows what other f@*%ing white shit fell last night. I
wounded the f@*%ing snowplow asshole with the ice ax, but he got away. Wife
left me. Car won't start. I think I'm going snowblind.
I can't move my toes. Haven't seen the sun in weeks. More f@*%ing snow
predicted. Wind chill MINUS 22 f@*%ing degrees.
January 8
Moved back to Caracas. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind
would ever live in that God-forsaken state of Massachusetts...
