Damn...can't even imagine. It's been scarily warm here for the season(climate deniers can blow me) but it should be more normal by midweek. Which is nowhere close to -18.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
we've been down in the 20s and 30s in the mornings, but today? high of 75 predicted! I plan to do yardwork, I have T. Zebrina to transplant, some mums to get into the ground, and bulbs to plant.

Morning started with rum cake ( has been known to blow the oven door off some years) and mimosas (from which I abstained.)
I think a fuckload of nothing is getting done in this wing today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What's Fruit Sip?
It's -18 degrees here.
Yikes!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's 23 "feels like 8" here according to my browser widget. Actually not terrible except right outside my office, which is one of those freaky Manhattan wind tunnel streets where the buildings create a constant draft blowing EVEN COLDER AIR off the river and into my face.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jesse: Craigslist is a strong possibility, but that involves me figuring out how to get photos from my camera into the infernal laptop device, which, it should be easy but I suspect it will involve a lot of hunting for lost cables and swearing, and right now I'm tempted to just drop it off at Goodwill and write it off my taxes. Of course, eventually I have to figure out the photo thing anyway, but the longer the rug stays here, the longer the cats have to destroy it... my stupid problems, let me iterate them. I would be dealing better with all the little annoyances this morning if I were not groggy from broken sleep.
Man, you should'a seen that paragraph before I fixed the typos.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Best blowtorch ever.
Weird.

Librarian Warlord
My office was 62 degrees this morning, as were some other parts of the library. It's been like this all week, and the building supervisor seems to be ignoring us. I'm guessing that he's already left for his winter vacation and he turned down the heat before leaving.
It's time for Slate's Explainer column to answer a question they ignored, so go vote: [link]
I actually like this question: Are all languages equally lip-readable?
