The October Storm: Part I

Yo, peeps, Again, I have not really lived up to my promises. This blog is very thin and I have had it for almost an entire year, how sad. But, never fear, because I have again returned to speak about the flaws in our society. The Sweet home Middle school craft fair is coming up and I am sure I will find something there to entertain me. Also, I have enrolled in the new education in and through the arts program at the University at Buffalo. I will be receiving A proffesional Certification in Theatre Education as well as a Masters in Education. cool beans! I have also started relearning the French language. I have had considerable success with that, maybe that can take me places I have never been before.
So, story:
Living in Buffalo this past weekend proved to be quite a considerable test of will. Many poeple don't realize the magnitude of this storm. Every tree in Buffalo is destrotyed to some extent. most of them will likely die, and Buffalo will never be as green as it once was. It's enough to make any arborist at heart break into tears.
My thuraday started with an early rising to make an observation that my friend had set up for me in Rochester. At about 1:00, I decided that I had witnessed enough for that session, and left for Buffalo. I stopped at the rest stop and noticed the rain that had been falling was coming down quite slowly for rain. I then realized that it was snow. I laughed it off, stated "that's Buffalo for you" and made my way back to toward Buffalo once again. Little did I know that If I had waited until the end of the school day, I would have been stuck on the thruway for most of the rest of the day. And the snow still came down and developped a blanket over the entire region.
To Be Continued
'til next time,
