5. Every year I forget what a pain in the butt snow can be, then it happens and I go, *Aw, bloody hell*.

It looks a lot better than all that dead brown stuff, but the older I get the more annoyed I am by snow. Still, I put on my ice cleats so I don't fall on my ancient ass and break a hip, and go for a walk every day, and try to enjoy the fact that at least I'm not getting all sweaty and being chewed up by mosquitoes so big they can fuck a turkey standing flat-footed. Gotta love the Midwest.
