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?!

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

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?
