I don’t have a strong dislike or love for birds, but I just found this book in a bookstore in Atlanta and it’s hilarious.

“Grief caused by the loss of winter can often lead us to feel alone and isolated. You are not alone. While the end of winter occurs at different times throughout the northern hemisphere, it happens to everyone. Turn to your friends and family members for support. Now is the time to lean on those who best understand your grief—your bartender, the seasoned lifty, your local ski tech. By engaging in open and honest dialogue about your feelings at this time, you can help each other overcome the obstacle of grieving the end of another ski season.”
