I did a threadsuck. I AM NOT STALKING PEOPLE, just cause I now have your mailing address.

Rare and cute Korean dog breed.

I called my local grocery and they do carry Orangina. I don't buy soda, so that is an area of the store I completely skip.

So - shower, get dressed, hop on a conference call, hit the store, then the gas station, drop off the Orangina at school, go to work, followed by our work "holiday party". Wheeeeee.

Safe travels to everyone commuting in ice and snow. We had a bit of ice this morning, but we slid in safely.

ION--I am crafting my resignation letter, complete with a list of tasks to complete in the next two weeks and possible availability for freelancing.

For privacy! You stalking stalkery stalker! But yeah, I dunno how heartily my objection stands after a decade. All y`all know more about me than most people anyway.

This is funny, because the last time I tried to search by name, I was searching for you! I remembered you posted about a "to-do" list system and I wanted to check it out!

No wintry mix in the Bay Area but the weather was odd this morning.

Driving back from the East Bay after dropping Emmett off it was so bright and clear, that driving due West had the sun blinding me in my rearview mirror. It was gorgeous and bright until I got up on the Bay Bridge and then the fog was so thick I couldn't see further than 100 feet. Then I passed through Treasure Island tunnel and came out on the other side and it was completely clear again, but I could see the entire bay ringed with fog in all directions.

Contrasty!

Emmett has a bio test today so last night I spent 90 minutes reviewing all the chapter review questions. Now my brain is filled with eukaryotes vs prokaryotes, the stages of mitosis (prophase! metaphase! anaphase! telophase! cytokinesis!), the function of photosynthesis and the function of respiration, the Light Dependent stage vs. the Calvin cycle, the Krebs cycle and adenosine triphosphate. (The last of which I remembered from my high school bio.)

We were supposed to have a storm come through here yesterday/last night. NOAA.gov kept changing their forecast from 3-7 inches of snow to 1-2 inches and back again. Woke up this morning to a slight dusting outside and the forecast is something like a 30% of another inch falling.

The snowfall where we live has been next to nothing so far this year. I know, I know - I'm inviting trouble just mentioning it. But we need the moisture.

We get fog in patches around here, places where there is wet ground or streams. I was driving home last night, turned a corner, and I thought my eyes had gone weird, because there was a grey haze half way across the street that was cleanly cut off a yard above the ground. I slowed down and it wasn't until I was in it that I realized it was a patch of fog wandering off the playground of the school next to the road. Very odd, the way it was so well defined.

You see? The internet is stalking me! And now the internet knows where I live!
 
Hee. The to-do system was probably autofocus. I cannae cut & paste the link from my phone, but you can probably search lifehacker for the article on autofocus and it should get you there.
