The other joy of Utah January is here. The first is the inversion, where the crap air is trapped in the valleys and the good air is up where the ski resorts are. It's a Ski Board plot.
Then there's the fog. In my town we've still got two-block visibility for headlights and such, but in the bad places visibility is 0. There are freeways through some of those bad places, and it happens every couple of years that there's a dozen-or-so car pileup in the fog. Gods, I love the bus.
Hi! My Interbunny came back!
uh-oh. I had a question about an online query thing, and the person in my office I was asking, and my boss came to my desk to figure it out. All of a sudden, my boss says, "is your middle name Deirdre?" I say, yes, and then realize she's reading my netscape tabs, one of which says, "Nora Deirdre's Message Board." Oops, and UGH. I think I've got to try to be more suave and smooth. So, I'm outta here!
And, Hi Lilty!
Timelies!
So, Teacup Guy is upgraded to boyfriend? Sweet. I can concentrate my 'shipping on Lilty and Music Store Guy
Nora, I think you need some sort of Bond-esque trapdoor under your desk. When they see your tabs, you can be all "This bird's gotta fly!".
I missed you guys! I had to do things like watch Lost with no commentary, and go to the gym. It wasn't pretty.
Hey Lilty, glad to have you back amongst us.
How cold is it in Portland?
I don't know. Ought to check, huh? I saw a wind chill map but no regular temps.
Looks like 3 degrees. These are the only times I ever wish I lived inland.

Yeah baybee, and we're already at the "when to meet the fam" dilemma. I love smooth, swift ships.

Yeah, I think there ought to be another cold measurement device for folks right on the coast, like the thing that calculates the wind chill factor. 3 degrees on the coast, even if the wind is the same speed as it is inland, feels way more cold than the same temperature and wind, just a few miles inland.
