Monday!
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

My sentiments exactly
I loathe snow, especially in the Spring. It ruins shoes and boots. It makes patio cushions soggy. it kills peach and plum tree blossoms. It ruins planters full of geraniums. Snow in MAY?? Ugh. Give me a break.
Yeah
What a horrible cosmic joke. The birds are singing, bunnies are gamboling, flowers are happily blooming, their little faces turned up to the sun, and then...WHAMMO!! A motherlode of SNOW!!! Curses.
The way that I felt last night :(
I went out last night to see a friend's band play. Unfortunately, the saloon was in Sedalia, about 25 miles away. We had to take my car, because I have 4-wheel drive. We crawled down the highway there, and went even more slowly on the way back. It was freezing cold, too.
Meh
I have a snow blower, but don't know how to use it :( I figured I had plenty of time to learn before next winter. Uggggh.
I'm glad that I didn't have time to plant any flowers, because I would be jumping up and down and screaming when I would see their limp brown leaves.
If I were a fool, I'd point to this blizzard as proof that there is no global warming. but I'm not :) This is just Colorado in the Spring.
Arrrgh.
