That’s snow small undertaking
Discover Blogs | Bad Astronomy | 2012 June 16
Simon Beck is an artist… of a different sort. He finds huge areas of newly fallen, untrodden snow, and trods on it. But he doesn’t just run willy-nilly or make snow angels. He makes geometric art:
How cool (haha) is that?
His Facebook page talks about how he makes these giant patterns. He’s done this a lot, and has
tons of pictures. Some of them are real stunners, so you should take a look.
I know a few people who would think this is a colossal waste of time. I, however, think it’s a testament to human creativity, ingenuity, and art. And the fact that these are ephemeral, literally blowing away in the wind within hours or days, makes them even cooler. If only more people were so dedicated to making beauty, no matter how fleeting, this world would be a more interesting place.
Know the quiet place within your heart and touch the rainbow of possibility; be
alive to the gentle breeze of communication, and please stop being such a jerk. — Garrison Keillor

<<"Snowjob" is an American colloquialism for a deception or a cover-up; for example, Helen Gahagan Douglas described the Nixon Administration as "the greatest snow job in history." The expression is usually applied to people in positions of authority who abuse their power to avoid or silence criticism or to deflect guilt of wrongdoing. The Watergate scandal began with the arrest of five men for breaking and entering into the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate complex on June 17, 1972>>

Oh please! What a coverup! It's obvious that this is the work of aliens.

Now I know what they do after the crop circles season is over...
Do not eat in any circumstances yellow snow
