If you had told me when I was in high school that one day I would be a knife maker for a living, using artificial intelligence to help me put together logistics for a run of 99 blades in three different alloys with 4 different heat treatment protocols, I would have said you'd been watching a little too much star trek.

Guys I live in Houston and we close schools if it snows and doesn’t even stick. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. I would LOVE a day where the snow stayed on the ground for 24 hours 😢 Admittedly, my step dad is from Kalamazoo and he has forsaken shoveling snow 😂

You are welcome to come shovel my driveway anytime! You’re welcome. 😁
 
I spent one full winter in Pennsylvania as a grade school kid. got off plane from 70s f to -15f. all the bad happened to me. we got a house that sat empty til we got there in late december. heat was off. walked in was cold as outside. never warmed up cause my momma refused to turn the heat past 60f to save money. used to sleep in full clothes and sweater and every blanket my momma would give me. shivering all night long. couldn't sleep. pure misery.

had to walk up hill in snow higher than my boots to the bus stop. bus had no real heat. got to school pants wet, boots wet, socks wet pure misery. used to put us outside on a recess after lunch. ice on pavement. nothing to do out there. windy as all. super cold. stood there talking to other kids up against the building to avoid full wind blast. suffering til they let us back in the building.

old man used to wake me up at 4am to scrape ice off his car, shovel driveway and sidewal of snow and ice under it. spent bunch of time out there almost done. hands frozen in gloves, cant feel them anymore. full numb. here come snow plow pushes road snow on the driveway. back to shoveling I go, so I don't get yelled at.

middle school kids made snowballs melted down and stashed overnight to ambush us younger elementary school kids on the way home. course they're ice now. tried fighting back til i realized when i got hit in the ribs, it's ice balls. now im running in knee deep snow ducking and dodging to avoid getting hit. one hits me in the back of the head. split back of my head open, blood running down my back.

get home mommas mad at me that i didn't fight back much or run fast enough to not get hit. inside of my coats covered in blood and I only got one coat. boy was she mad at me. she wanted to give me a whooping, but she didn't. she takes me to the discount store to get a new coat. back then getting a new coat in middle of winter wasn't easy. not much left in stock. all the good stuff is long gone. she gets me one on the discount rack not that warm and sized too big, so I'll grow into it. since she had to buy me two coats for one winter. now I got goofy coat that's too big, but I didn't care that much except that it wasn't very warm.

I could go on and on......but y'all get the idear.

old man gets job offer back home in florida by summertime. we move back. never been happier than coming home to the heat. learned my lesson. no ice and snow for me. unless im skiiing.
