Kinda like the infamous band of turkeys near where I live, who attacked a mail person every day. He just carried a stick and the tom would attack the end of the stick. The town government finally got fed up and killed the lead tom... that was the end of that.

The concept of it being -10C and completely clear just fucks with my brain. Especially at midday. I've only ever been in -10C once and gently caress that poo poo.

Today it's a high of -20'C before windchill and we don't have snow falling, because it's too cold for the clouds to provide snow.

It is perfectly clear and blue skies.

Outside of the heat island that is my city, it is minus 40 with windchill, which is not enough to close a public school. They go to optional recess at that point, with the kids deciding whether they want to play inside today.

I am sorry that you have to rely on other creatures to experience the thrill of near death that I get just from stepping outside of my house and trying to scrape my windshield. We don't even have it all that bad because I can still start my car without plugging it in, though my blower motor didn't want to spin up this morning until the car had been running for a few minutes.

Just wait until the drive home when some rando tries to flag you down/run you off the road just to get out and go "OH MY GOD YOU'RE 14 INCH DICK!"

14 INCH and the WAR BRIDE rolled to a stop in a backwoods town of Polk County, the SBC beneath the hood rattling off a frustrated huff of exhaust on throttle lift.

He had done it. Wiping the sweat from his brow and stretching across what was left of the bench seat in a futile attempt to rid himself of the steering-shake tremors that had dogged him all the way to the coast, he took a moment's reverie.

That was when the marching band fired up.

Gentlemen, we cannot be a part of introducing 14" into the South Florida ecosystem freely.

Nature, red in tooth and claw, will ensure that he becomes the new Florida Man.

As the years went on, sociologists and writers flocked to Florida, now renamed Inchistan, in the desperate hope that someone, anyone, would be able to tell them what had happened that cold winter morning that He came to town.

Heavily guarded checkpoints, barring the only gates in 18-foot-tall concertina fence strung between four-foot-thick ramproof concrete pylons sunken into the ground, surrounded the NATO Exclusion Zone. Most were turned away at the first sign of opposition, unwilling to go up against the Army or, worse, the Irregulars for the sake of a Snapshouted Buzzfeed listicle about the hottest fashions in necklaces strung with severed ears.

Any remaining Army loyalists were sure to be jumpy, what with the whole succession crisis of the Presidency. Nobody had seen the President, the Vice President, or the Cabinet for months now, and even the White House was abandoned. I used to be in the Gallery, so I ended up with the assignment of investigating. They didn't even lock the front door, and a family of raccoons lived in what remained of the Oval Office, subsisting on leftover buffet snacks and discarded Macbook chargers. When I filed my final report on the mystery, my copy editor changed the entire body of the article to an ASCII smiley of a man shrugging. It got zero hits. America, it seemed, had simply thrown its hands up and decided it had better things to worry about. I was in one of those things right now, I thought with a bit of a jolt.

I was one of a small group that morning in 2019 who could not simply leave, not when they were so close to reconciling the difference in our minds between what we thought He was and what we saw He was. We stood next to a burning barrel, warming our hands as a cold, wet wind blew through the encampment outside the border to the Zone. Another journo, a real go-getter type named (I think?) Tom, showed me on his smartphone the choppy muzzle-camera video of a Predator drone's last sortie into the area before it was captured and parted out.
