Two plus two equals five for extremely large values of two.

The rain started early in the afternoon. The temperature was never close to warm. The brief sun did nothing. Quickly the rain catalyzed into thick invisible sheets, hugging every surface. Roads and sidewalks became frozen hazards - invisible injuries and potential for pratfalls. Through it, I drove, the rear wheels leaping from under me with the slightest tap of the accelerator.  The sickening lurch of my heart in my throat, the flush of adrenaline in my face at each too-wide-slide and over-correction.  I ate and drank panic for lunch.

Something like that.

I have a dehydration headache.

Ethan is getting an A in French.

Jacquelyn is doing a write-up of her presentation for a climate-modeling class.

I wrote my last paper for this semester, a two-page essay on Sidney Poitier and A Raisin in the Sun.

Six to ten inches of snow tonight.

The beauty of heavy snowfall.

The warmth of new boots.  And wool socks.

I saw this on a wall today:



The End.

Thanks! I've been in the writing mood, but have been much too busy!

That sounds like a really terrible day. I don't envy you having to drive all day in freezing rain. At least you have warm and dry feet.

Yay for the semester being almost done!

I'm at work today and looking out the windows the snow is ridiculous. Driving in this morning only took an extra ten minutes but I wonder what the commute home will be like.

Is that a picture of the guy from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

YES!
