Forty-nine out of fifty states currently have snow on the ground from recent snowfalls. Guess which state is the only one without snow. That's right, Brenda. It's Florida. Take a look out our front window. See that white stuff piled in our front yard. None of that in Florida right now. Even Hawaii has friggin' snow! Only one more reason we should move to the Sunshine State. Are you listening to me?

She can't hear me 'cause she's wearing earmuffs even in our climate controlled living room. It's freaking cold outside.

See You At The Pole

At the end of my college career, I walked on the campus of the University of Maryland for the thousandth time. Near the chapel, in front of an administrative building, stood flagpoles bearing the flag of the State of Maryland flying slightly lower than the flag of the United States.
