Part 10

So it comes as little surprise to me that on the day I am scheduled to pull a Kurt Russell and escape from Wisconsin I should wake up with a minor case of writer’s constipation. So what better to do than talk about the weather? In the ten days I’ve been here, I’ve seen virtually every little weather-related trick that winter has up its sleeve, from bitter below zero cold to mid-30s freezing rain with a snowfall totaling up to 18-inches. So I’ve had my fill of winter, you could say, and am now happily looking forward to the near constant sun of Southern California. There is, incidentally, a popular bumper sticker slogan here in Wisconsin that reads “Escape To Wisconsin.” An even more popular way of defacing this slogan is to simply take a scissors and excise the word “to” and slide the remaining two pieces together. A sentiment, I’m sure, that can be attributed 100-percent to its winters.
