The Information Super-Frog

The ground is covered with white cold stuff-- sleet and pinhead hail that's been popping down for hours. It's a good day to stay indoors. I'm glad Entergy (the local power monopoly) got the electricity back on in this neighborhood-- some of us were without it for up to 5 hours yesterday. As anthracite coal is alas no longer commony retailed in town, electricity is important on days when the temperature is in the 30s F.

Those who spend the whole summer whining "I can't wait for the cold weather" are hereby sentenced to spend the whole day standing outside.

I hope it isn't like this Monday morning, as I have no experience driving in the stuff. I'll probably get up early and take the streetcar if the streets have a slippery frozen covering, even though that means I'd have to walk further in the damn stuff.

How about we move the city further south? Can we detatch it from Louisiana and have some tug boats tow it? Where to-- somewhere close to Cancun, perhaps?

( But wait! There's snow!! )
