2. Well, you see, CaliforniaPeggy, I was wondering the exact same thing.
And I was wondering about the rest of the year in general.

16. By that logic I guess he's really ambivalent about you Californians. He doesn't hate
you but he doesn't change your seasons much at all.

4. I suspect that G*D has some serious issues with interpersonal communication.
the fact that his followers consider "church signs"
to possess some soprt of "cleverness" is evidence
in support of my hypothesis.

Chimpanzees who can identify pick the best twigs to use
for fishing tasty termites out of their hives are a step
above the folks who post the average "Church sign", IMHO.

6. god barely tolerates us and walks a thin line between civility and outright annhilation
with us.

we driving 4x4s on thin ice - and the time of reckoning will soon be upon us. and the blood that washeth our sins in christ's name washes and purifies the enemies of god.

9. What do my allergies say?
Sort of passive-aggressive for God to give me a bright sun-shiny day AND a massive headache with blocked sinuses, ain't it?

28. I wish Be Franklin had said that.
What he actually said:

"Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy."

Not way off, just not really what he said. :(

21. After 6 feet of snow last winter I"m guessing that's God's way of saying "FUCK OFF"
:rofl:

Especially when he had 3 of the storms over the weekend and I didn't have any excuse to stay home from work.

That makes me feel better about the 5 inches of snow we got last night that are freezing the tulips and daffodils.
