prairiehomecompanion: mspmag: “I didn’t have so much fun again until 1987 when I went up north and drove a snowmobile for the first time. Raced through birch woods and fell in with a drinking crowd and stood outdoors in -30 (degree) weather drinking cognac and singing bawdy song and I followed the others to a sauna where a dozen of us sat naked in a small hut with hot rocks.

Fuck that.
I just spent the last THREE AND A HALF HOURS working on a “this is what I did last year” post and I went to upload a pic and chrome crashed.  And didn’t save my draft.  Well, saved it as of about a half hour in.  Which is nothing like what it was when it went away. I am so annoyed.
