Winter Rituals

What happens when it snows? One thing that happens is that people are absolutely compelled to build snowmen. I have posted here before on the strange compulsions people have in certain situations.

So what happens if you live in a place where it doesn't snow and you are hit with the snowman compulsion?

You build driftwoodmen! Connie and I saw this example from a creative local at the beach on Sunday. We thought the hair (a kelp root-mat) was a nice touch.

This is actually the first one of these I have ever seen. But I am familiar with his cousins from the desert Southwest.


Tumbleweedmen.
