Muggy Jiummer Memories
Swamped In Soggy Snows
By WALLY (SNOWSIIOE) MYERS
What with bank accounts flattened by income taxes and Irish
men huniorer by celebrations, there's anguish enough without
mention of the weather today . . But yon Just can't ignore the
derntd stuff.
If it's any comfort to you. however, we can remind you that
on this tame day last year buds were bustln' out all over and the
Klamath Falls temperature romped up to a balmy 51.
Of course, yoa might be one of those rather odd individuals
who prate about the picturesque beauty of snow. If you are, peace
be to your wnrpfd mind, brother: just stay Indoors and keep
kidding yourself. While you're toasting your tootsies on the and
irons we'll be battling our way through the pesky white stuff. Yon
hear the tender tinkle of "Jingle Bells"; we hear the bleak bang
ing of tire chains beating the fenders of our creaking chariots.
This reporter is a son of the sun-soaked and sultry South .
down where ham hocks holler for turnip greens and corn pone
pines for pot llkker.
You delight in the brutal beauty of Ice-blued toes and fingers;
we thrill to ike tantalising trickle of perspiration.
You warm to the waddle of fur-coated women; we cheer the
bare beauty of Bikini bellies.
Ah, heat rash!
(Aside to the Boss: I'm only kidding . . I love It here).
