Melting.

All the beautiful snow's melting rapidly. This morning I was in the parking lot of a shopping center and noticed that the only snow visible was the enormous, filthy piles from when the lot was cleaned off yesterday. A couple of the piles were ten or more feet high. I suddenly had an urge to offer someone money to climb to the top of one of them and scream, "I'm king of the world!" I had no interest in doing the climbing and screaming myself, but I wouldn't have minded being a spectator, even if it did cost me $10. But, of course, I didn't offer anyone any money to humiliate themselves for chump-change. I really should be more outgoing.
