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.
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.

Oh, Zotero is open-source. Nice.
Not mentioning my temperature, but I will say I walked out to my car this morning to fetch my coffee cup without shoes on, and my toes did not object.
My boss was supposed to call me for a meeting an hour ago. I suppose I should call her.
