scary fashion snapshot #2: wellies with a skirt, wabes, wellies with a skirt!
we've been getting pelted with ice all morning, so i've been grateful for them. and i'm totally prepared if i have to go hunting for C.H.U.D. - so there.

ooh, mind-meld! over wellingtons, of all things. why can't i mind-meld with, say, the guy who is going to pull lottery numbers or the weather man?
we've snow over a foot here. if it keeps snowing, even the wellies aren't going to save me.
But it's fluffy snow. Heart-attack snow is the worst. Fluffy, I can deal with.
(Of course, you beautiful New York people, you do not have the the misfortune of those north of Albany. And it's a bonus, as those poor saps are nowhere near the Lake Ontario Lake Effect Snow (TM) zone. They got it good anyway. Three feet. Blizzard. Roads closed by police order. Have a nice day.)
..and you wear it well Madame Onassis got nothin' on you, oh no...
today i was wishing for some wellies - though the weatherproof canadienne boots did the trick - and i never doubted for a second that you could pull it off. it's just that my legs & waist tend toward stumpy when cut at wellie-&-skirt levels.
my lake effect story is jengadda shoveling her car out of the airport parking lot with a frisbee. and then you all are freezing your asses off in chicago. why do people live near these great lakes, anyway?!
Random Stab At Fashion No. 2 (hopefully better than previous). If wellies are a no-no, would (ankle-high) black rubber galoshes be a better choice? Frankly, I can't remember anybody owning a pair, except for my dad, back in the 80s. I don't know where one could get 'em nowadays. But, for the wellington-adverse: a reasonable alternative?

Well, May is nice. October too. Those two months are pretty solid, all things considered.
