A Scene From The Suburbs
A small house in Tempe, Arizona. Inside, three grrls, a dog and two, two-leggers (present day hominids.)
Renee crawls out of bed, slips on her sandals and pulls on old, raggedy army pants. She hurries to the front room and sees Kim sitting up on the couch and just turning on the TV.
Renee, excitedly: “Kimmie, Kimmie, it's snowing outside!”
Kim, sarcastically: “Yeah, right.”
“April Fools!”
Kim, groggy from just awakening, ignores her.
“Well, it used to work back in Buffalo.”
It's 68 ° outside; the forecast for the day is high around 100 °.

I'll bet it did!
A friend of mine from a town in Northern North Dakota says, "We get 11 months of winter, and one month of bad ice-skating weather!". Buffalo is not quite that bad, but it sometimes feels that way!

Thank You
for reminding it is April 1, 11.
Your weather is no better than in
Fresno, Ca but we have the luxery
of the mountains a half hour away and
the ocean about one and a half hour
away.

Uh
Haven't read the story, stopped at "ggrl'. Not in any dictionary I own or have access to.
. . . .
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak.
I went outside once. The graphics weren' that great.
Grrl
References a type of "youth-oriented" approach to feminine power, as "riot-grrls," "gadget-grrls," "cherry-grrls" (a lesbian variety), "culture-grrls," "programmer-grrls," and so on. The trope is on "Grrr," a comic-book-style growl.

What's a Grrl?
Kim used to breed and show dogs (sic). (Really dogs and grrls.) She was adamant that we use correct terms. A male canine is a dog; a female canine is a bitch, but because the term is used so rudely, she called them, so we called them, girls, gerls, etc. We used to have all females. Kim would get mad at me if I referred to them as dogs. To differentiate between a fem canine and a young womyn, I used the spelling "grrls". I don't mean anything else but that; regardless of whatever other meanings there are for the term.

Say hi to NeeNee, Harley!
Wooofrrrss!!! (Hello, NeeNee!)

I Know About "Grrls"...
...but this says "ggrls". Thought you were using it to mean "genetic girls", but that doesn't gibe with the top listing. Just a typo?
Cute story, anyway.
