HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHRIFT!!
Y'know, for all the noise the street cleaners make EVERY DAY at 4:30 a.m., my street still looks like New Year's threw up all over it. Grrrr.
Some of them are more blue, and look like maybe halogen, and are sort of painfully bright.
They are halogen, and are being touted as safer, because they throw light further. Personally, I think not blinding oncoming motorists is safer.

The blueish lights are not halogen, but xenon (newer and more high-tech). They're more expensive so it's mostly luxury cars that have them.
Right, but why?
Because the universe hates me.
Happy birthday shrift!

No kidding. Or those ahead of you who are being blinded by their rear-view mirrors.
Happy Birthday shrift!
It's 0 degrees here this morning!!!
And it's only about 50 degrees in my apartment.
These are Fahrenheit.
I injured my other knee yesterday or I would have gone down to the basement and turned on the big heater last night. (You know, the big heater that I can't really afford to run - but it was that cold.) I think I'll do it today and run it a couple of days and then turn it off for the 40 degree weather we're having early next week.

Unfortunately, all too often this means their possession coincides with people too self-absorbed to realize they're tailgating.

Or maybe they're thinking, "Look at me! My bright blue lights mean I'm rich and important! Get out of my way, peon!"
Really. The axis of the Earth's rotation should be perpendicular to the ecliptic plane. What's so hard about that?
Mercury is like that and the weather sucks there.
It's 15 F here. A bit nippy, but not as bad as other places apparently.
Happy Birthday Shrift!
The local library system has downloadable audio books. That is just full of awesome. My commute will be all the better for it.
