The start of this year has brought pretty crummy weather, a stark comparison to the last couple of early Januarys. I can remember two years ago walking around The Mall with the ombudsman and heading across Memorial Bridge. Last year, the Ombudsman was in town and we drove with the top down on his car. This year however, he did not come to visit and the weather has stunk — COINCIDENCE?

If you don’t like this sesasonable weather, all I have to say is blame the Ombudsman. By failing to make an appearance, he has cost us 70 F weather. Punk.
