Westwind

Kids 'round this part of the country won't shovel snow, won't mow lawns. They refuse then complain they have no money. *rollseyes* My basement was flooded by the snow when I lived in Wichita. Then flooded again when the pipes broke from freezing. The house was also burgled there after a snowstorm - they left footprints in the snow, the cops refused to investigate. (Yes, Wichita sucks. They also closed the parks with a permanent 7pm curfew and banned outdoor concerts. You could only buy 3.2% beer, and had to be a 'member' to go to a bar. The radio stations were all Country music except for one with Classical music.) Westwind has a difficult time choosing. After a decade in the land of nine months straight of rain, and two decades of nine months straight of snow......ugh. Might be time I moved to the desert. BUT.....if it's a 'Dark and Stormy Night', wouldn't the snow brighten things up so it wouldn't be dark?

Hail The West Pacific! Westwind shall now be serving as your Ambassador from Equilism. While Equilism has been very quiet in recent years, we're not quite dead yet. I was unable to post this message in our Embassy, as it has been locked due to our inactivity. So I would like to request that our Embassy be unlocked, so that we may continue in compliance with our mutual treaty: We have appreciated The West Pacific's dedication in continuing to provide updates in your Embassy in Equilism through our periods of inactivity. Thank you!

Such a tight race. N-day wins by two votes.

Hmmm....I better get busy. I'd planned on 12 polls for the year. When it comes to a 'Dark and Stormy Night', what kind of precipitation do you prefer Rain or Snow. (Yes, yes, I know, there could also be sleet, or graupel, or hail, or dust, or.......anyway, Westwind's Random Polls of 2020 are only allowed two choices.

'Tis done.

Interesting. It seems to me that Z-Day was leading until N-Day came. Will it flip back after Z-Day? (Or will Z-Day change this year?) https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=491901

Recently reported sighting....

Which do you prefer? Zombies or Nukes?

Smiling is overrated.

Some are Morning people, some are Night Owls. Science seems to think there's something about it in our DNA.

It isn't about Olympics, but let's be fair to the Equinox. Which do you prefer?

This creativity reminds me of a story from long ago in NS. In 2005, then Equilism President and Admin Nooterland issued a decree to ensure all forum members maintained a proper avatar, rather than leaving the default icon on their account. All who failed to comply were enriched with a new avatar created by Noot's 2 year old daughter. It was an effective decree.

Did you know that the Salish people's stories say that when one of their Chiefs dies, that Chief is reincarnated as an Orca (Killer Whale). Westwind has a fondness for Orca. Welcome to The West Pacific!

You should at least have the Former Delegate badge.
