What's summer without sun, or winter without snow? Well, while we are still quite fortunate with summers, winters suck lately. Last week it was 15 C during the day. 15 in December... We just might end up like British or Irish- seeing snow as rarity like tornadoes or 15 days without rain. And while global warming is already causing havoc on our fragile world, some smart scientists (being paid by oil companies) declare there's no direct link between global warming and the rate of pollution. Right. For all you who haven't seen All Gore's film
An Inconvenient Truth - I suggest you do. It's very good and it'll show you where this all is leading...
Winter fairy tale- 29th January 2005
There was a LOT of snow that week
Anyway, wandered off a bit. I miss old ways of celebrating winter holidays. When we put up Christmas tree only few days before Christmas. And streets, and shops weren't decorated in Christmas fashion three days after Halloween. It's crazy what commercialism is doing to us- we are being brainwashed by decorations, commercials, even with songs we listen on the radio every day. It all leads to one thing- shop, shop, shop!!! And when Christmas finally comes, you've been brainwashed to the point where it's not by far as special as it used to be...
But anyway... Not everything is bad. Like Christmas decorations on the streets of Ljubljana. Or skating ring and mulled wine stalls...
