I doubt it.

I mean, think about it.

It's snowing out there again. 3-6Plus inches this time, the weather man says. So, a white Christmas here is definitely in the cards. Not only is it in the cards friends, the deck is definitely stacked.

I'm finishing reading Tom Robbin's book, Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates , and the story's protagonist, Switters, happens upon an example of two snowflakes that are exactly the same. Now, the reason I like Robbins books is because he is always questioning society's Hierophants, both the established ones, and the "new age" ones.

So, who is to really believe that "No two snow flakes are exactly the same"? There is a whole bunch of them dancing through the sky out there, landing and mingling with their brethren. Could not a couple of them be identicle?

I imagine that in an alternate Universe, all snow flakes are the same.

Excepting the one rebel snowflake of course.

Maybe the book was Villa Incognito. I've been catching up on Robbins last few books recently, and I think all of the stories are melding together in my mind. What with all of the snow, I attribute that to brain freeze.
