Two inches of snow fell overnight and lasted intact on the ground the entire day. This is Wisconsin and it was absolutely absurd to think spring last week. All day long we would glance at each other in passing and comment that after all it is still February. After all, I would add, we are all grown adults and we are free to live anywhere we want. Freedom, the word, is being used in all types of discussions these days and like many words it has complex and varied meanings. The meaning I like most is this: the ability to say no without punishment. We are free to go live in San Diego or Gulf Port if we don’t love snow.
