Snow! The neighborhood, Pye playing, and Pye & Newt watching from inside on cam. Pye just loves the snow, but it confuses poor Newt. Clicks embiggen.

A wave of low pressure will continue to bring snow and sleet to the area today. A brief lull in the precipitation is expected this afternoon… before a second  stronger low pressure wave will bring a wintry mix of precipitation tonight and Wednesday. Precipitation will be mainly in the form of snow and sleet this evening… but a change over to freezing rain and rain is expected overnight as warmer air is drawn into the system. Temperatures will remain in the lower 30s Wednesday  allowing for the rain to freeze on some surfaces.

Total snow and sleet accumulations through Tuesday night will be 2 to 4 inches and total ice accumulations for Tuesday night through Wednesday morning will be one to two tenths of an inch.

Didn’t get together with Todd today – the weather was too bad to drive to meet him. We made it home ok – all of the soft poweder of the morning had a layer of slick ice over the top of it. I’m glad that we managed to see him yesterday! It sounds like he had a good time checking out the monuments – I’m sure that they were extra nifty-looking with the layers of snow everywhere.

Had Pigs in Blankets for dinner, with string beans on the side. pretty nummy!

Watched some Psych (Sort of lackluster episode about firemen/arsonists) and part of The Beast before hitting the sack – until later, dear journal!

Happy Year of the OX! Happy B’day MissV!

Hectic day at work today – lots done, lots to do.

After work, BHK picked me up, and we stopped by Dream Wizards – unfortunatly closed, so we settled for MOM’s got a few little sundries – beans, bread, veggie-chips

We went to the Vegetable Garden with Todd – he’s in town for a couple of days, and we’re happy to take advantage of having him local! It was nice visiting with him, and hopefully we can catch him again tomorrow before he high-tails it back to South Florida.

Quote of the night – "Should I take the shoe or the duck? … Well, the Shoe comes with maple syrup!" Todd got the Duck, anyhow. I suspect the shoe was tastier.

Note –

GEN. WILMINGTON’S SHOE –Ingredients: Veggie sable (made of soy protein), red onion & white mushrooms wrapped & baked in puff pastry sheets.  Garnished with steamed snow peas & carrots.  Served with organic maple syrup.

Veggie-Duck w/Asparagus Ingredients: Yuba (Fresh Tofu Skins), Potatoes, Black Mushroom in Brown Sauce. Garnished with Yellow Squash, Asparagus and Carrots.

9047 – Friday

I’d love to get this for Todd or Kevin. Kev, because he loves the ol’ stratofortress…. and Todd, because he needs a way to get out of the office in style.

Me… I’d rather have a bunch of these stone pillows piled in a corner like an ogre’s cave… a place to curl up and snooze comfortably.

I don’t think that a white woman as president would change the world any more or less than having a black man in the office. Both *seem* like they’d be a big change, as far as the USA goes… but not so much in the international arena… but I don’t think it would make such a big difference after a brief period of barking by racists and sexists… (on all sides of the fence)

Margaret Thatcher or Idi Amin, anyone? (or Aquino and Mandela, for the positive side of things) Those should prove that if anything, genitalia and skin color shouldn’t mean too much regarding national leadership. There are good and bad leaders of all stripes.

When I hear that someone is voting on the basis of gender or skin tone, my mind plays a sing-song voice of “I’m voting for Joe So-and-so, because of his dreamy blue eyes”…. it makes as much sense to me. This isn’t friggin’ American Idol… vote for the “talent”, not the “style”.

What happened to judging folks by the content of their character? That alone is the big reason I can’t get behind Clinton. She’s a good politician… but I think that by being so, she’ll tell anyone what they want to hear to get elected… and she hasn’t done a very good job of showing consistency on any issues I care about. Obama may be as bad or worse… but I don’t have the huge pile of information like I do on Hillary. I can’t in good conscience put a vote toward her… I don’t even want her as VP, which I suspect she’ll get.

Um.. Ann Coulter supports Clinton over Bill McCain, because McCain isn’t conservative enough? Isn’t that like getting an endorsement from the devil?

Slang of the moment (via BHK) – Electile Dysfunction. – The inability to become aroused over any of the choices for President put forth by either party during an election year.

Ok… enough with the politics. Waxy Monkey Frogs are awesome, and I love them.

Yikes.. Microsoft to buy Yahoo… I hope not. I’ve long enjoyed Y!’s style and reliability. I fear that might get lost in the shuffle. My biggest worries are for flickr…. I’m glad I found the downloader when I did.

Rainy-rain rain today. I like it.

Added bonus about tomorrow… since it’s a Saturday, I didn’t have to fudge anything to take the day off.

I’m fully aware of the fact that my nose will be buttered by BHK sometime tomorrow… and I don’t have a chance of dodging it. I imagine that caches of grease are already placed throughout the entire county, just waiting to be used. I know it is an expression of love.
