Day 326 ("winter is coming")

It was one of those days that I was bored, but didn't feel like doing anything. Thus, I spent an unwise amount of time on Facebook, growing steadily more and more frustrated with the mania over the snow predicted for the Jerusalem area later this week. To clarify, the temperature isn't supposed to get below freezing, so snow may fall, but there ain't much chance of it sticking. And yet, even local governments are getting in on the frenzy, releasing lists of Emergency Supplies that Everyone Should Have. Ack! Husbinator heard a great line later tonight that helped me a lot, though. When rockets fall, Israelis can deal with it: they take precautions, but remain calm. But when snow is predicted to fall, Israelis simply panic.
