Finally get to turn the AC off.

Yeah, I saw it was only 63 back home *shiver*.

We're making my mother fly up from Florida on Thursday. She's leaving 65-70F weather to come up to 15-20F weather. She's not overly pleased. :D
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

For me the real shock when coming back from Florida is how dark it is in Detroit this time of year.  The days are noticeably shorter and a sunny day like today is extremely rare; for the most part everyone drives with their lights on in the middle of the day.

Detroit is about the same latitude as Rome.  The cloudier parts of Northern Europe must really be awful this time of year.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Kind of cool to watch the frost steam off the cars as the sun hits them.

Yeah, I guess, if you're baked.

You're telling me those NFL Film clips with the steam coming off the bald lineman's head are not cool?

I'm suppose to see my doctor today, though I don't know if I will.  There was a little sprinkling of snow last night and everything is closed.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
