Dear Kid,
And how things can change in a day.
Turns out that the east coast of These Here United States is going to get about a Vortex-full of snow and my trip to New Jersey has been rescheduled. To April. When presumably it will not be polar bear season in Newark.
The airline is rejoicing. Oh, no problem! We’ll happily exchange your $357 ticket for a $250 ticket (do not pass go, do not collect a refund). And thank you so much for staying out of our hair during what we are sure will be a rather nasty few days.
Dear Burglars,
I told you not to get your hopes up.
In other news, today is National Cereal Day. (Yesterday was National Oreo Day—how did I miss celebrating that one?!)
Factoid: CheeriOats was the original name for Cheerios
National Cereal Day is ridiculously easy to celebrate. Just pour a bowl of cereal and enjoy.
Factoid: The cereal industry uses over 800 million pounds of sugar a year (so it is closer to National Oreo Day than I thought…)
It’s not clear if National Cereal Day refers only to cold cereal. But since we’re about to be gripped in Vortex of Polar Proportions, I say go for it and eat oatmeal if you want.
