There were a couple of snowflakes here when I was heading to work, but mainly it's just dry and cold (low 20s, so not bitter cold like Dallas is getting).

I walked by a restaurant that had a sign: "SOUP OF THE DAY: CHILLY SOUP". That did not sound appetizing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ugh. Walking a total of two blocks was exhausting. And they're out of black tea and grits! Otherwise it's nice here.

I tightened up the dates for the Onerous Task Day since it seemed like we could use it more often.
Next Onerous Task Day: Thursday, 2/10/2011

My onerous task for the day will be shoveling. I am going to get to it here when I'm done with this cig.
It may take me as long to gear up for the shoveling as the actual digging. It's COLD out there.

Punishingly Intricate
she sounded quite upset and a bit frightened about the violence.
Ugh. And just when I was relieved that my good friend there had gotten the internet back and could check in. Things were pretty quiet in her neighborhood. She said:
Overall these events only served to galvanize the community - both my neighborhood and my coworkers. Our next door neighbor stood with other men in the neighborhood protecting us with improvised sticks-and-stones type weapons and invited my roommate and I to hole-up with his family if we got scared. This scene was the same in every neighborhood of my friends as well.
Which is comforting. The uptick in violence is not though!
Oh! She just posted that they have a flight out to the US on Friday. phew. (I think they were planning a trip to here in a couple of weeks anyway but are getting here sooner than planned.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm sure they don't have enough -- and didn't I see somewhere that the teams have their own sand trucks now?
Yes, and yes. Also, it's not been this cold here in a decade.
I came into the office today because we have 4WD and take 1 heavily traveled road into downtown. Our neighborhood roads are solid ice though. Most of my coworkers in the burbs can't get out of their driveways. Then there are the unexpected issues people have. Keyless lock trunks being frozen shut. We don't really have the experience with it to get the hang of what it takes to be prepared.
