Detroitster!

You know, I've mentioned the weather in Detroit before and you all probably thought, "whatever, he's just exaggerating." Well, here in pictorial fashion is the difference between April in DC and April in Detroit.

[aside: Sorry for the DC vs. Detroit stuff but it's the most obvious comparison. We were in both places this week]

APRIL IN DC

The sun was shining, the birds were out, the cherry trees were blooming, it was 80 degrees and I was dancing to the Bangles. I know that I once wrote for WIH8DC, but honestly, DC in the spring is pretty goddam nice.



APRIL IN DETROIT

That white stuff? Yeah, it's snow. So much snow in the air that you can't even see. There's nothing like snow in April to make you feel like celebrating re-birth and all that other shit. Happy fucking Easter indeed.

All I have to say about this is that I'm glad that Jesus wasn't crucified in Detroit. On the third day he would have risen from the dead according to the scriptures, rolled the stone away from his grave, looked out at the snow and then he probably would have said "Snow? In April? Screw that, I'm going back to dead."
