Come Again?

Here is a funny excerpt from Gregg Easterbrook's column this week on ESPN.com:

******************************************************************

I Am Not Making This Up: On Wednesday, the Maryland counties around Washington, D.C., area received 2 inches of snow. As a result of the snow, the city of Gaithersburg, Md., canceled part of its winter festival for the day.

******************************************************************

By the way, many of you may recall that Easterbrook, formerly of the New Republic, is one of my favorite writers on science and current affairs.  His weekly column on ESPN.com is ostensibly a football column, but if you take a quick look, you'll see it ranges far afield at times, often to very interesting places.
