Heart of the City by Steenz for January 26, 2020

What would John Steinbeck say about spring and fall?

Here there was not room by the fire, and through the winter the kitchen had seldom been warm enough for comfort.

- Upton Sinclair

I lived in Arizona, voluntarily, for 10 years. I most definitely did not need winter to love the summer.

“I’ve lived in good climate, and it bores the hell out of me. I like weather rather than climate.” John Steinbeck

“One can find so many pains when the rain is falling.” John Steinbeck

Of course, Steinbeck lived in California, in a place where they get about one inch of snow per century …

I’ll bet Steinbeck put a ? at the end of his sentence.

Who put the sign there?

(wonders about the text of “JOHN STEINBECK” in the cartoon and how a being capable of understanding it to had been text of “JOHN STEINBECK” might react if he or she had been named “John Steinbeck”)

The problem is most writing doesn’t pay that well, and we use computers so most of us are in cold offices with heavy clothing and blue fingers. True story.

It’ll never last. By July it’ll be a thing of the past.

“Bah! That’s just wrathful grapes!”

Excuse me, I’m going to leave and wine over these jokes.

Poor Heart.

Man, that’s deep. I mean that snow is DEEP. The quotation is inconsequential.
