What's everyone up to right now?

Just chatting with another trucker who's about to give his dog "Bernie" a bath. This is the only dog wash that I've seen in a truck stop. 

Yo, that dog looks chill. When I look at him I can't help hearing the Outkast song, "So Fresh and So Clean"

Gah! We got like two inches of snow and nothing stuck to the streets. School was on time. We were just a bit to far west to be impacted by this storm. I'm sad now. I was looking forward to driving on the snow.

Grabbing some shade and thinking of getting some cervezas.

What are those?

Just finished slogging through my e-mail -- I'm signed up for an astronomy mailing list, and had to see if among the 14 new messages there was any new astrophotography from the list members. Nope; just 10 "Ooh! Pretty!" replies from the last posted photos, a couple of replies regarding an equipment question, and an invite to a cool-sounding lecture that I can't make because it's on a weekday. Sigh.

Mexican beers.

Think we'll cool off then head to the beach to watch pelicans and have some margaritas.

Wishing I could go get a burger. But I can't. Nothing but broth, water, and popsicles for today and tomorrow. I'm so weak. It's only 4 pm on the first day, but I'm already dying.

Knowing that I can't eat just makes me want to do so all the more.

Watching breaking news about a massive gas leak that has shut down a massive freeway in town. This after coming home to a message from the police about the situation. A major mall is shut down as well. FD is bleeding local gas lines to avoid something like the explosion a few years ago in San Bruno that killed several people.

Just finished removing the windrow left by a snowplow as it went scraping down the back alley an hour ago. Fortunately I was downstairs in the dining room, sipping my tea and reading a book, as it thundered by and blocked off my driveway. As I came home on the bus I noticed that the streets east of us had already their alleys done, so I was expecting our street to be next and was keeping an eye out for the plow.

If the plow had arrived at, say, 6:15 instead of 5:00 I would have been hopping mad (and possibly late for band practice). Driveway is clear and there are no more ruts in the alley. Life is good.

Talking with a daughter.  She apparently had a great interview for a summer internship she'd like to do.  I'm pleased for it's a long way from home. 

Other than that I've been uploading paintings.  This is my favorite of the new lot.
