Random Thursday canceled due to apathy. But, really, who cares?

I made a good start on today's "Random" post, including a joyful rant about the apparent increasing unreliability of the local web design community (I think we're well on our way to becoming the 21st century equivalent of aluminum siding salesmen, no offense to aluminum siding salesmen), but when I looked outside and saw how dreary and drizzly and altogether yucky the weather is, I lost the will to publish.

I hope the sun is shining where you are and that it motivates you to do great things today. As for me, I think I'll plug in our NetFlix-originated edition of A Prairie Home Companion and put the Bad Jokes scene on perpetual loop.

Update: You can add "sleet" to the list of yucky things occurring outside right now. We are not amused.

Update #2: Did I say "sleet"? Make that "snow." As in, "you gotta be kidding me! Snow?!"

Update #3: What snow? The sun's shining.

Hrm. That's not very reliable of you, an integral cog in the local web design community's wheel. Is it?

Oh wait. Is this that irony whatsit that the Brits are always on about?

Foo, there's not an ironic plate in my exoskeleton. Nor in my cupboard, for that matter.

["Cupboard." Now, there's a good British term. But, is it really pronounced "cubburd"?]

you gotta be kidding me! Snow?!

It's the Global Warming. Better get used to it. ;-)

I could be wrong, but I always figgered that snow was much nicer than "wintery mix". I mean, a water droplet's a water droplet, but no two snowflakes are the same.

Speaking of global warming—I have nothing better to do, since Blogger seems to have got a bit ahead of themselves in removing the "beta" from their name—Cox & Forkum had me inhaling my beverage with this recent offering.

I agree with Foo, snow is better than "wintery mix" which is what we're expecting. Out here, wintery mix = lots of smashed up cars and snarly traffic.

I think the latest Netflix offering is the perfect antidote, however. Good on ya'.

That C&F cartoon is sadly hilarious. I've decided that TWC is also using another subversive tactic to try to indoctrinate us regarding the "truth" of global warming. I've noticed lately that its local forecasts are running about 10 degrees warmer than the reality turns out to be.

OTOH, maybe they're just lousy at their jobs. Maybe they should lose their certifications.

Oh, that's just crazy talk.

Should I say it's sunny over here and shaping up to be a nice day? Of course, I will be inside working and cleaning lol.

It's a nasty forecast for us tomorrow. Looks like I might need that 4 wheel drive and "winter" button.

Posted by: Jim at February 1, 2007 06:43 PM

You've got a button that controls winter?! Don't turn it on!

Rachel, enjoy the nice weather while you can...winter's on its way. ;-)

I'm just a bird(brain) of a different feather, I guess. I LOVE the snowy, cloudy days! I find it invigorating! Besides, look at it now!

Really, Eric.
