"... I am, at this moment, stuck in DC, which I shall hereinafter refer to only as wimp central. This town got three - count 'em, three - inches of snow, and everything went to hell. They declared a snow emergency here at 8am, before a single flake hit the ground, thus allowing the cabbies to drop into hyper-gouge mode. They started charging double fares because of the snow 'emergency,' and that cost money. The horrific site of three inches of snow caused the wimps at National airport to cancel any flight going anywhere, thus marooning me and requiring me to get a hotel room, thus costing money. Because I missed my flight window back to Boston, where they are now getting two feet (TWO FEET) of snow, no flights will get there tomorrow, and so I had to get a train ticket to Boston, thus costing money.

The capitol city of the most powerful nation in the history of the planet was paralyzed today by three inches of fluffy snow. In order to get this kind of reaction in Boston, there would have to be live jaguars falling from the sky and devouring the citizenry from Back Bay to Quincy."
