    It's pouring down for more than an hour now. I really want to leave the office and go home, but by the time I'll reach my car, I will be wet all over. I just slipped into some comfortable shoes this morning and they are definitely not suitable for walking through that giant puddle the car park turned into. Walking barefeet is also no option since the temperature is just a bit above 0°C. Stupid weather. And I am hungry and all my secret emergency food is already eaten. What a day :(

      I am hoping for a nasty blizzard here soon. I just spent over $600 on a snow blower in anticipation for it. After the insane amount we got last year and the fact that I am now commuting (50 miles, i.e. no time in the mornign to shovel) in a sedan (vs. a Jeep), I figured it was a no brainer. My luck however this will be a record low and I will likely be dusting off my shovel (inches do not call for a blower) about the same time the geese return. I doubt we will have any more rain this year as it has been bellow 0 for some time. Its just a matter of if the temp drops to extremes (-30F). We never get snow then.

      Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

          I hate it when my chocolate bars are all gone as well.

                  I've got snow tires on for the first time in years, especially due to our near-record snow last year, so I'm looking forward to a little snow myself. Scott
