It's a Pretenders type of day

"The snow's falling down, it's colder day by day."
It must be the lyrics of "2000 Miles."

That must be why I am drawn to THE PRETENDERS on winter days.

I'm listening to a playlist of Pretenders' singles -- as well as the UB40 ones that CHRISSIE HYNDE sang on -- while driving around today.

Hynde surely knew about winter -- coming from Ohio -- and I like to think her winter memories inform these songs.

I'll try listening to The Pretenders this summer, to see if any of the songs resonate with the warmth.

Those warm days, though, seem so far away from today.
P.S. -- Congrats, ENGLAND, on retaining the ASHES for the first time in 24 years. I listened last night!
