Occasional cases

Ah... happy new year? Heard about big snow in Asia, US and Europe. I sympathise, but feel oddly nostalgic as well. For someone who hates the cold so much, I really miss snow. The artificial stuff just doesn't cut it--you don't get actual snowflakes, for one thing.

"So I apologize for that," he said.

From here.
