CALIFORNIA SNOW

I really like California snow. It stays up in the mountains so I can visit it whenever I want. It does not block my driveway. I call it polite snow.

Californians really like their snow.

I was totally shocked when I discovered that California schools each chose different Easter vacation weeks. I was reliably informed that this is because otherwise the ski resorts got too full, and some of the children would be unable to ski. That year my son had chicken pox while my daughter was on Easter break, then my daughter had chicken pox while my son was on Easter break. So I was REALLY unhappy with the schools.

Then I discovered that the Girl Scouts, the Boy Scouts, churches, and various friends would arrange ski trips for my children. Since the wheel chair does not work well in snow, I was really grateful.

The cost of these snow trips was very reasonable as the children would sleep on the floor. Ski clothes for the kids were found at the Palo Alto Goodwill. Thrift stores in wealthy areas are better for such purchases. Most poor people do not give away ski clothes.

So, if someone invites your children to go skiing, accept. Honestly, you can stop worrying about child molesters. The Boy Scouts solved this problem. Just tell your children that they will be safe if they travel in pairs. The molester has to get the kid alone in order to molest. This also makes pairs of adults almost perfectly safe. Adults who hunt in pairs tend to be so weird that they are not trusted.

I always felt really guilty as I slept late, avoided all cartoons, and ate food too expensive for more than one serving. Well, I did WANT to feel guilty. %<)
