I am amused by human behavior.  At least, I am in those cases when I’m not gobsmacked, or just saddened and confused, by human behavior.

Recently I was amused when a friend sent me a link to a story heralding the unmasking of the Great Global Warming Conspiracy.  He was positively triumphant about the whole thing, as if he’d personally waded into the swamp and slain the dragon, armed only with a Q-tip and the righteousness of his cause.

Today, I sent him this:

snow Dec 4 007

The TV news freaked out, of course, although credit where credit is due: this snowfall was forecast five days ago, so it really shouldn’t have been a surprise.  But you know there’s always someone who didn’t get the message.
