so this is sleet

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.02.24

I'd always taken 'sleet' to mean 'freezing rain' but it turns out there's a different kind, and that's what we have today.

It's simultaneous rain and snow. And it's a lousy form of weather to combat—too wet for scarves and mitts, too cold and snowy for an umbrella. Sometimes I miss Tokyo.

In an unequal society, those who land on top want to believe their success is morally justified.
