Heavy snow in London

So yesterday, the big news here in the UK is the heavy snow. I made the trip into London yesterday as usual, but found lots of trains cancelled and had to wait a long time to get in. The snow meant I couldn’t ride the motorcycle for any of the trip.

Things were so bad that we only worked a half day anyway and tried to make the difficult trip home.

Now, it’s 5:45 am and I’ve been looking through websites trying to determine whether it is worth making the effort at all today.

Here are some pictures I took yesterday:

Everyone says the same thing: in lots of places, this is nothing! True. I can’t imagine them closing down Minneapolis for this kind of snow.

I tried to act all tough– like I can handle this easily because I’m American and we see this all the time. Of course, I grew up in California– so I am just as inexperienced as anyone else.

“Prosecutions are unlikely”. This is one of my biggest problems with the last administration. Since you aren’t doing anything wrong, the argument goes, you don’t have anything to worry about.

I wonder if any of my phone calls have been listened to.

Reagan said in his inauguration speech in 1981, “We are a people with a government. Not the other way around.” Why are we always made to feel like subjects instead of citizens.
