Snow fall reported

Let me begin with a wagging finger and a frown. To the local gasoline outlets, who saw fit to raise prices by thirteen cents per litre today, even as the price of crude continues to spiral down. You are “all about that greed”!

Cast a long shadow

“…it’s always February 2nd, and I can’t do anything about it” – Phil. Then be thankful it’s just a movie, and watch it (again).

A moment of diminished congestion

News from New York City: the world did not end, last evening. The sudden absence of automobile traffic on (all) city streets turns out to be a wrinkle in the fabric of the universe.

Epic reports

Life in capital letters! Thank you, CNN. For the last half hour, my adrenalin levels have risen to epic levels, as you give me news about that storm that hasn’t hit. Yet. But we are prepared, in large part to your look into the future.

A premier swap?

If son #1 happens to check in here (instead of partying like you are on a tropical beach), rest easy. Your pipes have not exploded in the -40C temperatures you happen to have avoided. Carry on.
