“The Fumbled Winter”

100 Words:

This week’s Friday theme is to let us know why the weather in these parts has been so strange lately.

My entry:

“Notice anything odd about the weather, dear?”

Roger shook his head, brushing the snow off his overcoat, and hanging it up on the coat rack.  “Can’t say I have, why?”

“Well, it’s July.”

“Right”

“And we live in San Francisco.”

“Last I checked.”

“And all this snow ….”

“Twain said the coldest winter he’d ever spent was summer in San Francisco.”

“Yes, but — and nobody seems to think it odd.  Including you.”

Roger scratched his head, then shrugged. 

“And then there are those Valkyries in the sky.”

Roger laughed.  “Chrys, if you wore one of those brass bras in this cold, you’d be screeching, too.”
