Cold

Water.  Like a blanket.  Dark.  Intoxicating.  Cold.

It was a long and very cold winter.  We had a lot of snow.  I shoveled a lot of snow.  There was one day when I was shoveling that every time I'd break up a chunk of snow and ice, it was in the shape of a state.  And it was always in the shape of Wisconsin.

I thought to myself, "That's kind of funny.  Wisconsin can get a lot of snow from time to time.  Wisconsin has had a cold winter this year, too.  Wisconsin could appreciate snow chunks in the shape of itself."

Then I thought, "Maybe you don't know the shape of very many states."
