You are welcome, Mr. President


Heather and I both grew up in Southeast TX. It goes without saying that we did NOT have many snow days in school. I vaguely remember (vaguely because I have very few childhood memories much to H's chagrin) a few ice storms that caused NISD to release school for the day. Luckily, from a kids perspective at least, we typically had some hurricane or tornado days to make up for the lack of several winter weather. Back to my point....

I have a sure fire way to get the next POTUS elected. Three words...GROWN-UP SNOW DAYS. Why do the kids reap the benefits of the freshly fallen snow while the adults, the schmucks who pay for the kids in the first place, schlep into work? Moments ago, I spoke with my lovely wife by phone. I heard two things: 1) my God-given offspring beseeching their mother to allow them time outdoors in the heavenly bliss that is snow, and 2) Heather quietly encouraging them to notice that Mommy is on the phone. (They required a great deal of encouraging which nearly resulted in a "I brought you into this world" moment.)

Again, digressing....Mr. Future President, you will earn my vote with mandatory adult grown-up snow days for those corresponding to student days. (Doesn't "adult snow days" sound like something created at Deja Vu'?) I agree that other issues such as immigration, taxes and the economy are important. But, snow days are THE most important. Get on board, Huckabee....
