snowflakes, or anthrax?

so, it's been warm here for a while, and then suddenly this week the weather
turned to freezing. i was walking to the gym yesterday morning (yes, i've
returned to the gym--hired a personal trainer and all) and there were a few
flurries coming down from the only slightly cloudy sky. i should qualify my
next thought with: i was nearly drunk tired. i had dragged myself out of
bed after three days on to go meet with my new personal trainer. had i not
had an appointment with her i could have slept for hours more. i wouldn't
have trusted myself behind the wheel, or doing anything that required any
mental skill. anyhow, as i noticed the flurries, i thought "hmm...that's
beautiful. but i wasn't really expecting flurries...maybe it's ash. or
anthrax spores. did i really just think that? well (on the next block now)
there are still flurries over here, so it must be snow...it just seems weird
to be flurrying..hmm..." so there you have it, direct from the mind of one
overly exhausted, apparently paranoid, emergency department nurse.
