Zapada adevarata

Jurnal de iarna

Vazand zapada de afara mi-am adus aminte de un text fain pe care l-am citit acu' ceva vreme si l-am gasit pe web... l-am recitit cu aceiasi placere :-)

Aug. 12 - Moved to our new home in Canada. I am so excited. It's so beautiful here. The mountains are so majestic. Can't hardly wait to see them with snow covering them.

Oct. 14 - Canada. It is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves have turned all colors and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful countryside and saw some deer. They are so graceful. Certainly they are the most wonderful animals on earth. This must be paradise. I love it here.

Nov. 11 - Remembrance Day. Deer season starts soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it snows soon. I love it here.

Dec. 2 - It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shovelled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won). When the snow plow came by, we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. I love Canada.

Dec. 12 - More snow last night. The snow plow did his trick again to the driveway. I love it here.

Dec. 19 - More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work. It's beautiful here but I'm exhausted from shovelling. Fucking snow plow.

Dec. 22 - More of that white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands and a sore back from shovelling. I think the snow plow hides around the corner until I'm done shovelling the driveway. Asshole.

Dec. 25 - Merry Fucking Christmas! More frigging snow. If I ever get my hands on the 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 fucking ice.

Dec. 27 - More white shit last night. Been inside for three days now except for shovelling out the driveway after that snow plow goes through every time. Can't go anywhere, the car's stuck in a mountain of white shit and it's so frigging cold. The weatherman says to expect another 10 inches of the shit again tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10 inches is?

Dec. 28 - That fucking weatherman was wrong. We got 34 inches of the shit this time. At this rate it won't melt before summer. The snow plow got stuck up in the road and that bastard came to my door and asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him that I had already broken six shovels shovelling out all the shit he had pushed into my driveway, I damn near broke my last one over his fucking head.

Jan. 4 - Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on my way back a damned deer ran in front of the car. Did about $3,000 damage to the car. Those fucking beasts should be killed. The bastards are everywhere. Wish the hunters had exterminated them all last November.

May 3 - Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rusted out from all that fucking salt they put all over the roads.

May 10 - Moved to Florida. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever want to live in such a God forsaken place as Canada!

Transfagarasanul

Am trecut muntii pe Transfagarasan si a fost chiar fain, abia s-a deschis acum vreo 5 zile si inca avea unele bucati de drum cu zapada de 3 metri si se circula pe un singur sens, lume multa la Balea Lac si drum prost dupa ce cobori spre Vidraru.

Ice age

Urmaream pe Discovery sau pe Animal Planet un documentar despre Ice Age si cand am aflat ca peste Europa era un strat de aproximativ 3 km. de gheata (de fapt undeva pe langa Londra) iar in Cleveland grosimea era de o mila (vezi poza cu greu gasita pe net dupa milioane de imagini din Ice Age 1, 2, etc) mi-a rasarit brusc o intrebare.

In cazul in care ar ploua la nesfarsit, sa zicem, cel putin teoretic ai putea adopta solutia Noe si te-ai urca intr-o barca. Dar daca ar ninge fara oprire cum te-ai putea salva?
