The Coffee House

[pgriz]

I picked up my wife from work a half-hour ago. As she came out, she said "Feels pretty warm today!". It was, only -10C. Was -21 to -23 C overnight. If it gets up to freezing, we'll have guys in shorts and t-shirts.

Ungh. I envy you guys with your 60s and 70s.

Why, could it be something better - that sounds pretty good to me at this point in the day.

Different, not necessarily better (Unless you actually wanted to drink it; I wouldn't clean my worst enemy's paint-brushes in Canadian Club!).

Paying for your own sub sucks ... your union sucks. What ever happened to collective bargaining?

Having one sick day IS actually the work of our union. Took them a long time even to get that much blood from the stone. Before that, we had diddly. The faculty union here certainly has its moments of crapitude but they haven't outlived their usefulness yet.

Just fyi, I am ignoring all the posts about how great warm weather is and how sucky cold weather is. Y'all are harshing my winter buzz!

I'm not bad mouthing cold weather. It is 75F where I am and everywhere I turn there is green and blooms are poppin'. In less than an hour I could be in snow ... if that is what I desire. Takes that long to get 3-5,000 feet up to the snow level. Plenty of snow for a days fun. The local mountains are pretty crappy though compared to the Sierra Nevada. the San Gabriels only get up to 10,000' and the adjoining San Bernardinos hit 11,500'. if I really wanted snow then a half days drive and I'm in world class snow like Mammoth or Squaw Valley (the site of the first US Winter Olympics). If I really really wanted snow, a full days drive to the northern Sierra Nevada ... up to the glaciers ... up to where snow and ice hangs around all year long.

Actually, I've been planning my next trip in a couple of weeks to go Napa. Then maybe to the Southern Sierra to shoot the Bristlecone Pines (oldest living things in the world) when the snows somewhat melts (I want patches of snow on the ground). I also want to shoot some sand dunes down at Anza-Borrego. I'll see about working in Tahoe or Yosemite or Kings Canyon.
