It was 2 F when I got up this morning. I decided to wait a little while before leaving for work, see if it would warm up. After an hour, it budged up to a whole 3 F.
It's now 7 F. There's absolutely no wind. I think the wind froze.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

No self-respecting engineering student would make the kinds of dumb mistakes that are built into us.
I've been saying this for YEARS.
Latest weather predictions include sleet mixing with snow. Which is not good.
And OH MY GOD, people make me crazy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm startled to see that the hands site is doing half again as much traffic as the next site up, with 22GB in 5 days.
Teppy is not alone.
And you know from your referrer logs that the traffic is not all from me.
Teppy is not alone.
See, this freaked me out. Not *in* context, in context it's fine. More because my eye caught the sentence before reading the rest of ita's post. Sounded like a line out of a horror movie.
OMG, the text messages are coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!!

Must work on presentation. Must!
But first, I wanted to share something from a travel ad in a recent New Yorker:
Jamaica is a bit of a dichotomy. Wrapped in a paradox. Smothered in irony. Which would probably go great with a Red Stripe.
Now, I think it's great, and clever, and I quite like the ad. But "smothered in irony"? If I go there, is everyone going to be sardonic at me?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I insisted on that particular cruise because I fell in love with a picture of Curacao in the brochure. It didn't hurt that we both really liked St. Maarten when we stopped there on our last cruise.
That sounds wonderful, as long as you get some time to explore each island. I loveg Curacao, and I have wanted to go to Bonaire for years. Do either of you dive?

Ann, that's a ferret.
No, we don't, Perkins. We're more the land-based sightseeing type. Though I think we have birdwatching planned on -- maybe it's St. Vincent.
The downside of cruise ships is that you only get one day at any port. And there's usually enough on any island to justify a longer stay. So a cruise is more of a sampler than a way to get to know any place. On the up side, warm enough to wear shorts in January.
We're still new enough to cruising to take the tours offered by the cruise line. (In Jamaica last time, we saw Rose Hall. Home to Annie Palmer, who became the subject of a Johnny Cash song.)

There's absolutely no wind. I think the wind froze.
At least there's no wind?
It's 31 degrees here, wind chill of 20. We're a little startled.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is so appealing to me -- I'm going on a cruise in January, too, and totally looking forward to it. I've never been on one!
Oh, and ION, I totally shouted out the podcast as word of the year thing in class last night. Because I am that dork.

Yes, that's a positive. Because if we had a significant wind chill today, I might die.
