Eine kleine Vorfreude für den Winter (leider habe ich den Auszug nicht in deutscher Sprache):

Lovely snow in Switzerland
DEAR DIARY
AUG 12
Moved to our new home in sunny Switzerland. It is so beautiful here. The mountains are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see them with snow on them. I love it here.
OCT 14
Switzerland is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves are turned all the colors and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful mountains and saw some deer. They are so graceful, certainly they are the most wonderful animals on earth. This must be paradise. I love it here.
NOV 11
Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here.
DEC 2
It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won), and when the snow plow came by, we had to shovel again. What a beautiful place. I love Switzerland.
DEC 12
More snow last night. I love it. The snow plow did his trick again to the driveway. I love it here!
DEC 19
More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work. I am exhausted from shoveling. Fucking snow plow.
DEC 22
More of that white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands from shoveling. I think the snow plow hides around the curve and waits until I'm done shoveling the driveway. Asshole!
DEC 25
Merry Fucking Christmas! More friggin snow. If I ever get my hands on that son-of-a-bitch who drives that snow plow, I swear I'll kill the bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the fucking ice.
DEC 27
More white shit last night. Been inside for 3 days except for shoveling out the driveway after that snow plow goes through every time. Can't go anywhere, car's stuck in a mountain of white shit. The weatherman says to expect another 10" of the shit again tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10" is?
DEC 28
The fucking weatherman was wrong. We got 34" of that white shit this time. At this rate it won't melt before next summer. The snow plow got stuck up the road and that bastard came to the door and asked to borrow my shove. After I told him I had broken six shovels already shoveling all the shit he pushed into the driveway, I broke my last one over his fucking head.
JAN 4
Finally out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back a damned deer ran in front of the car and I hit it. Did about $3,000 damage to the car. Those fucking beasts should be killed. Wish the hunters had killed them all last November.
MAY 3
Took the car to garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rusting out from that fucking salt they put all over the road.
MAY 10
Moved to California. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would want to live in God-forsaken Switzerland.
