25. Then there was nothing.

So, the climate talks in Copenhagen was a total failure, and nobody is even acting surprised. It makes me think it was just one Hell of an expensive show for me and you - the regular world citizen - to make us believe our rulers actually care. Maybe we should have spent that money on windmills instead.

24. Grateful for nothing.

Here, in the story, it's still summer. Not so outside my window, where snow is piling up. Nice Christmas-present for the kids, I guess, but torture for their parents' backs. So, these days, I'm grateful for owning neither a car nor a snow shovel.
