Is there any reason I shouldn't work from home today?
Is the CTA fucked up? Metra is. I thought my train was a few minutes early, but actually it was the previous train that was 40 minutes late. Many Metra trains were cancelled.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can't imagine that there is, aurelia.
What kind of critter will tell us if we are in for 6 more weeks of Hoth? Do Ravens also come to say that Winter is Going?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I know my cold weather is not real cold weather. Still cold to me. Also my office was 52 when I got in. Up to 57 now.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
My question is if we're going to get 6 more weeks of winter. Punxsutawney Phil says yes, Jimmy the Groundhog (just outside of Madison in Sun Prairie, WI) says no. I say Jimmy is a big, fat liar. It's too sunny out today for him to not have seen his shadow this morning.
What I'm afraid of is that what Jimmy really means is, "of course it's not gonna be SIX weeks, it's gonna be TEN weeks". What I find more telling about the timing of Spring coming, is when Sammie starts shedding. She usually starts shedding in the middle of February. Last year she didn't start until March. I'll keep you posted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Tommyrot, I as far as I know all trains and busses are running. I'm just not feeling a need to prove my hardiness today. I did that in the last blizzard.

Does anyone keep track of how fuzzy the caterpillars were last, um, fall is it? I heard that was actually more accurate than you might think. I'm not sure what species that is, though.

Hey Hivemind, calling Academics and Editors. Just got a request from my friend:
I need a really good citation generator that can manage conference proceedings as well as traditional pubs. Any ideas?
probably MLA or APA. I can grab something. I just need something fairly automatic. Or a new brain.
Any ideas? I guess the conference proceedings are non-standard but necessary?

Heh.
Me neither--I just didn't know how much snow there was.
In retrospect I should have walked half a block to the CTA station and then transferred to Metra in Evanston.

-t, Farmers Almanac and NOAA agree that caterpillars are great at indicating the weather. Last year's weather anyway. [link] [link]
