Life is not fair! This Appalachian Irishman worked too hard and too many hours last week, even last Sunday afternoon, all to get ready for the ever-loving, annual state (socialist bureaucrat) QA survey. (Now, the surveyors are friendly enough, mind you, but the survey can still yet be grueling.) He needed a snow day off. Did he get it? No. Heck, no! Mrs. Appalachian Irishman, however, who works in the socialist “edukashun” system, was off on a snow day last Friday! That was the sixth vacation, pardon me, snow day this month!
Well, I would not have minded, for we must keep the little kiddies safe, but there was no snow! I asked Mrs. Appalachian Irishman to take the following photograph from the deck, since she was home, and I was working, as proof. (The date should be 1/29/2010, not 2009. I had not yet set the date to the correct year.)
The snow started at about 3:00 PM as light flurries. All the counties in the area except my beloved Hawkins County took a full snow day, however. Hawkins County officials had the genital fortitude to hold school until noon, at least.
What does this say about our society? It says that Americans have become timid, lazy, and easily frightened! Did the socialist “edukators” just want a long weekend? That’s laziness. Were they afraid that little Johnny might be hit by a snowflake just as the final bell rang? That’s cowardice!
You know. Actually, it might be the lawyers. What if little Johnny slipped on a snowflake, hit the ground, and bumped his little head? The parents might sue the school system!
Wake up, America! Toughen up! Do not be controlled by trumped-up mass hysteria! If not, we might become snowed under by another nation. Has anyone heard of the Roman Empire?

Hello. This article popped up in a search on snow days, for some reason. It's funny! The Roman Empire didn't get snow days. That's for sure.
