There’s a Bitter Wind A-Blowin’
It looked sunny enough out there.
I got a late start on Wednesday morning because I’d spent two days in Boston listening to every single person I saw up there wonder what Tom Brady is going to do next year.
Some of those guys know that I’m coming from the Buffalo area and every one, to a man, went out of their way to let me know they were rooting for the Bills.
“Man, they had a great season,” one guy mentioned. “They might have something there.”
“Are you over the Pats losing?” I asked.
“Well, it was a lousy team! You can’t win a wild card game, you gotta’ consider that a bad team.”
It’s all perspective, I guess. The Bills also couldn’t win a wild card game.
I didn’t mention that.
But back to Wednesday.
It looked sunny!
I was out of the car and walking towards a huge scaffold that no one was on.
The wind caught my five-head (as the boys call it) and I muttered a little something:
“Holy shit!”
Frozen!
The site inspection didn’t take long and I headed for the trailer.
“Damn it’s cold,” I said.
“Well, it is January,” the supervisor said.
Yep.
Buffalo in the winter.
It’s supposed to get colder.
More snow too.
But a lot of Buffalo people will be happy to know that Boston fans are suffering.
“I heard Brady is going to Dallas,” I said as I was leaving the trailer in Boston.
“WHAT?? WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?”
I didn’t have the heart to tell him I was making it up.
(BTW...something is wrong with me. Here in Buffalo I aggravate people by rooting for the Patriots. When I’m in Boston I aggravate them by rooting against Brady).
No.
I don’t know why.
It’s just fun.
