Snow is required…

Good morning, Netizens...


In this AP picture taken from the Lansing State Journal by Rod Sanford, snowmen populate the lawn of the State Capital in Lansing, Michigan Tuesday.


A group opposed to raising taxes in Michigan, called Common Sense in Government, created more than three dozen snowmen on the state Capitol lawn to greet lawmakers coming to session Tuesday. The snowmen held signs with slogans including "Don't raise our taxes!" and "I'm mad and I vote."


My goodness I cannot help but wonder if we had the snow in Olympia, Washington if anyone would have either the temerity or the skills necessary to build such functional snow people? If so, I think I could come up with a few signs suitable for use.
