Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hubby said every fireperson he knew had an unhealthy love of fire.
That fits with all the fire fighters I know. And CJ is giddy that he can set fires in the fireplace now. We won't even talk about his fireworks obsession. Especially the ones he gets over the border from Wyoming.
Oh, praise be, sunlight hitting the ground! I can cope with 18 degrees if the sun is out.
Our actual temp is almost double the forecast and yet we are still in single digits. CJ just went out for more firewood. I'm not leaving the house unless I have to.
It's supposed to snow here tomorrow night and early Saturday morning. I'm taking a wait and see approach to what will happen. Mostly because I have to leave the house at 3 am (in bad weather) to get to work at 4 am. I'm hoping for either no snow or enough snow at the right time that it will be easy to call out at work. What I really don't want is the snow to hold off until I'm headed back home and then can't get up the mountain and have to hang out in town and hope for the best.
Separately I have come to theorize that most, if not all, firemen (or aspiring firemen) are pyromaniacs.
I have found this to be true. Source: Best friend is a fireman. At least most of them channel their love of flames in constructive ways.
They're predicting snow for DC ... AN INCH ... of course, panic is ensuing. One woman in my office refuses to come in when it snows; she's older and uses a scooter, so there's some rationale behind it.
And, in other news - some other possible snow-related panic.
Ya gotta be prepped with french toast in nasty weather.
Yep. That's DC. On the other hand, I'd already arranged to work from home tomorrow for other reasons.
We aren't expected to get anything until after work Friday and into Saturday, but I'm thankful that my workplace is ridiculously loosey-goosey on WFH requests for those of us with office jobs (sadly, can't make the factory side of the business that way). I'm also thankful for whatever anonymous internet genius originally photoshopped that AT-AT on Glenwood Avenue image that I repost every year, because it so perfectly captures the reaction to snow here.
Timelies all!
Yeah, I'm not thrilled about tomorrow's morning commute here in the Maryland 'burbs. At least, not 270.
