Staring out the window, any window, is rough when there has
been an extended period of wretched weather.
Everyone, particularly those not playing video games, sees through the
snow or ice or fog to the repair projects and deferred maintenance that has
been piling up. Financial analysts
proclaim the joy of a gas price windfall driving American consumers into
stores? Baloney.
Somewhere out there is a person who has no gutters to fix,
no paint peeling indoors and out, a clean car devoid of calcium buildup, and
windows that are always washed. The rest of us have two lists that get longer
every day—those winter chores that we have put off for weather reasons, and the
already late preparation for spring.
Change spark plugs on the mower, did you? Pat yourself on the back.
The early data was a surprise – the American consumer shoved
the gas price windfall into savings. Of
course they did…they have projects large and small awaiting the thaw or drying
out or more daylight so we can try to get caught up. More daylight means more
projects. Wear gloves!
