I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's more snow coming later this morning.

I emailed people 20 and 30 min ago and have no response. This from people who I know are up. I wonder if Blackberry service is down in places. I can only go to work if I take mac, I kind of wanted an ok on that before I just showed up with him.

My weather guy keeps using the ominous phrase "Gravity Wave" to describe an upcoming intense part of this storm. Gravity Wave!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So it's gravity making the snow fall? Wow.

It's snowing like a hamster here. To put the cherry on top of the morning, my furnace was out.

Happily, I've managed to relight it with little drama (the other weekend cost me ~$475) and there should be heat happening shortly.

I agree, "Gravity Wave" sounds sinister. I have NO idea what the hell it means in terms of weather. Check your meteorologist for drug use.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

HOLYCRAPSNOWDAY. (Seriously, they haven't had one since the month before I was hired here, during one of my looniversity temp jobs.)

Hmmm, a little googling shows that 'gravity wave' is shorthand for cloud formations influenced by, DUH, gravity to assume ripple-like hills and valleys.

In the meantime the snow is a-blowing outside the windows. But I have no place that I have to go before 6 PM, so I'm good.
