Me (Erik)

This is just a place where I just ramble on about nothing probably important to you but at some moment of time it was actually important enough for me to make the effort and jot it down. I’m anti-social like that. Or because I was bored and felt like torturing others at the moment and thought I would share the wanderings on which my mind takes me.

It was 70 degrees this weekend and yesterday morning. Then it started raining and the temperature started dropping. Then it snowed. We got about 4 inches of snow last night and it is now 20 degrees.

I was “nice” and went out to dust off and start the husbear’s car while he was getting ready for work. It will probably be a short day for him anyway. Almost everything in the area has closed down: schools, businesses and gawd-knows-what-else.

Damned weather… no wonder I’m ill.

I am still under the weather so I’m staying home from work one more day. I did remote in to check my email. Mistake. Looks like I’ll be busy when I get back to work. Wait—I’m always busy!

And I don’t think my Jeep likes being covered…

There’s one thing I’ve learned about the weather in Arkansas: if you don’t like it, it will change. If you do like it, it will also change. (I guess that’s two things I’ve learned.)

At least everything looks clean with a fresh snow covering everything….

Until next time…

It is snowing here in Northwest Arkansas. A very rare event for here the last few years. Usually we just get ice storms that cripple the area for weeks. The snow started early this morning and has not let up yet. There’s about 3 inches of snow on all the horizontal surfaces so far. All the schools and most businesses are closed. That’s the way things go in these parts.

Driving to the day job was interesting (as it always is, actually). For what reason do people turn stupid when the weather changes? They drive like drunk teenagers leaving prom getting their first road head. I passed two accident scenes in the 10 miles from our house to work. That was just on the way in! When I left work at 1 PM, there were cars in the ditches everywhere. What the hell?

Anyway, I guess I’ll kill the remainder of the day by wandering around the Internet, watching cartoons and maybe some porn—my idea of multitasking.

Until next time…
Erik
