A REAL weather story

THE LOCAL MEDIA is again going nuts, putting up front page stories about the weather and breathlessly telling everybody how bad Tuesday's storm will be. So I've written my own weather story.

Blizzards are yummy.

A Quincy man has decided not to clean up his dog's doo doo in his backyard because of a large storm blasting its way west from the Rockies.

"No comment," dog owner Rodney Hart said. "Plus I'd be quoting myself in my own story and only TV guys do that."

When asked why this story was so short, Hart was succinct. "I need a blizzard, not dog doo," he said. "And I'm sorry I used a big word like 'succinct.'"
