Spring #WTF

Yesterday: chores and such. Today: shopping, chores and such. And along with those and exercise, a startlement. I was just getting into the groove on the elliptical, when I looked up and out to see ... snow. Sigh. Really? Yup. Wasn't much, didn't stick to roads or sidewalks, but seriously I'm officially tired of snow. I want a couple of months of high 50's to low 70's. What I'm a'feared of is a direct transition to summer mode. That'll have me wishing for more snow in less than a couple of days. Here's what it looked like out the back…

Mo' Snow

It has started snowing again, and is supposed to throughout St. Patrick's Day. Weird, eh? Lexi is gonna be cranky when all of her spots are covered up with snow, again! No real other news, I've had a busy weekend and gotten lots accomplished, from shopping and haircut to coffee roasting and building a small woodshop project for a coworker. Oh, yeah, and patched some Solaris boxen, and ... well, you get the idea. Sleep is for the weak. * * * No casualties were announced by DoD in the last week.
