Believe it or not, winter is here. The first clue was when daylight saving time ended across the United States. The second indication came when Mom texted to say that the first snow of the year fell today. Then, a friend wrote to say that her coworker got in a car wreck so we should all be more careful on the roads. In reply, I couldn’t help but write back that I completely empathize with this sentiment. After all, it is so hard to deal with winter driving in Hawaii with the sun always in your face. I mean, it beats down on you, gets in your eyes, and can be really disconcerting. I added that sometimes it even rains which can really be a problem since the giant rainbows that materialize are so distracting. I don’t think that my sentiments were welcomed. I guess some people just don’t appreciate good, old fashioned snow and ice.
