FEATURED CONTRIBUTOR

Ezzie Brown

Esmeralda Rosalind Brown hates her full name for its pretense of regality, but this is her official bio and I am her brother, so that’s what she gets! She was born on October 1st sixteen years ago and I’ve known her ever since. She’s not too fond of school -- I mean, who isn’t? -- so my parents tried to put her in boarding school for the first two years of high school, but it was too much, being hippie and foodie and no closer to Hogwarts. We love her but it’s not her priority for happiness at this moment -- I’m not sure what is and neither is she, so she’s pretty down. And by pretty down, I mean far too clinically down. But maybe public school is treating her better? I should check in more often. She likes writing poetry and runs cross country because it’s the least competitive sport. She’s full of sass and cracks as many jokes as she does depressing sentiments. I know she’ll figure things out soon, but until then -- she’s still Ezzie.

 

With absolute affection,

Nathaniel

 

Historic storm leaves 20 dead on East coast

A powerful blizzard swept across the coast last weekend, shutting down Washington and New York City. According the Nydailynews, the blizzard warning and travel ban remained in effect until 7 a.m. Sunday morning. Federal Government offices will remain closed on Monday but the transit systems and roads have reopened.

The storm caused car crashes that killed thirteen in Arkansas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia, and Tennessee on Sunday. Two died in Virginia of hypothermia while three died in New York and one in Maryland while shovelling. Another died of hypothermia in Pennsylvania.

According to Reuters, this was the second-biggest snowstorm in New York City history, leaving 26.8 inches of snow by midnight on Saturday. Despite the severe weather, many New Yorkers took the chance to snowboard in the streets and enjoy the snow, though police threatened to arrest anyone found outside after 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

What with the all the risks of this blizzard, certain Americans are relieved that they moved away from the east coast when they could, despite the midwest's reputation for snowfall. This is yet another reason everyone should be glad of a new home.
