Argument is never reasonable,
especially against the frigid ice air that stings my cheeks and nose. Anger never got me anywhere when the weather is what it is.
My only defence, besides staying home, is layers. Layers of clothes, red woollen toque pulled low, a fuzzy multicoloured scarf wrapped
‘round my already layered neck, and a heavy winter coat. Still not heavy enough to thwart the winter wind and temperatures. But giving in to
argument and frustration,
would give the weather gods
the win in this prairie winter argument.
Like the rest of the stalwarts, I do my shopping,
spending time looking for just the right head of
lettuce or another notebook while I perspire under
my layers. Great pads of ice, whirling winds and
cabin fever be damned. I have a life to live.
“The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.”
