I am not a vicious person. I don't wish bad on anybody without a good reason. But I don't feel sorry for people who really don't deserve to feel sorry for.

We had a huge snow storm on this past Thursday. According to the news reports this was one of the biggest this area ever had. Thousands of people lost power because of the wet snow weighing down trees and power lines.

Westchester County is an upscale county in the New York City area. Chappaqua, Bedford Hills are ritzy neighborhoods with higher than average income residents. Yet, the newscasts want us to feel sorry for those people because they are without power for a few days.

First, why didn't they buy generators to provide power in case the main power is lost. My friend lived in Connecticut in a nice town, yet he bought a generator for just in a time like this.

Second, all the these people who lost their electric power can afford to check in to the Waldorf Astoria from their bonuses (or buy the Waldorf Astoria). So why don't they?

I really don't care if they are without electricity until Summer!

Another thing.

As I said we had this huge snowstorm. On Friday our neighborhood was very very quiet. There were very few cars on the road, a lot of people chose not to go to work.

We went down around lunch time since driving was not impossible. Went to a few stores near us and heard the same story over and over again.

These stores all opened a few hours late since their owners and employees had difficulty getting here as well as they had to clean their shares of the front sidewalks before opening.

But they told me that people were complaining about their late openings. These complainers were the same people who claimed they couldn't go to work because of the excessive snow.

Thursday morning the news was showing some parking lot in a shopping center. There were no people, there were no cars. Most of the stores didn't or couldn't open. But in the background there was a Pepsi truck making its deliveries.

Can you imagine how much these "I couldn't go out of my house because oi the snow" people would have complained if there were no Pepsi?

All I can say, we have it very easy. No wonder I like animals more than people!
