Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I'm surprised Beeb's cow town has a train.

I do miss my train ride.  Bit of a pain when it rained and broke down or ran late, but that ride home to be able to decompress was sooo worth it. Leaving a stressful job to deal with an even more stressful commute home totally sucks.

It's one of the few things I really like about Edmonton.  The LRT is great - the station is a short bus ride from my house, and downtown there's a tunnel that goes directly from the underground station right to my building.

1-4 inches expected tomorrow. Several grocery stores are on fire, after being looted of bread, milk and toilet paper.

Yeah, they're calling for "an inch or two" Thursday night into Friday morning.  Which means it will wreak more havoc for drivers than an 8 inch snowfall. The first flakes of the season always wipe out the first flakes of the season.

It's too bad they've already bred by this point, otherwise it wouldn't keep happening.

Thursday it was -40 in Laramie.

I chuckled.

Lots of flooding. There was a 200% snow pack this week and now it's raining. The Governor is doing interviews in downtown Reno under an umbrella.  :P
