Summer promises to arrive

Jackson Hole, Wyo.-Summer will officially arrive on June 21, things are happening and people generally enjoy doing those things, except they don’t like tourists, according to the populist web site, JH Outrage.
The hyper-local web diary, or “biary,” broke the season’s arrival with the additional discovery that rain is the product of complex global and regional events collectively known as “weather” – not God’s tears.
“God doesn’t cry for us,” the biary post said. “If anything, he laughs himself to tears at how stupid we some people are, but that’s still not where rain comes from. Grr.”
Begun in 2006, JH Outrage achieved widespread recognition, two winters ago, with a stunning photograph of snowfall with the caption, “Snow has to be shoveled. What’s up with that?”
The photograph led to a barrage of angry reader comments challenging the true intentions of snow, many weighing in with what might be called a snowball of dissent – readers instigating each other to become angrier.
When compassion and reason occasionally threatened to halt the descent, biary administrators restored momentum with welcome reminders that readers choose
to live in Jackson Hole, and therefore are entitled not only to dislike things that aren’t widely popular, but also to belittle and berate those things.
The following post was a photograph of people skiing, with the caption, “Skiing snow is fun, but shoveling it still sucks.” JHW
