At least our streets seem to be pretty much free of ice and snow now. Thank heavens.

I-78 (major highway round these parts) had been shut down since Wednesday afternoon. Vehicles were stranded from Wednesday till late last night (Thursday/Friday). Trucks (tractor/trailers) jackknifed on the ice laden road and other motorists were blocked because the shoulder of the road had snow pushed onto it. Some motorists ran out of gas, heat, water and food. The temp was in the single digits at night and wind chills were below zero. The back-up went for 50+ miles. The road has been cleared of motorists and vehicles as of midnight/1am Friday morning.
Part of the road has been de-iced but a part of it remains covered with packed ice. It will remain closed for the day as the road crews work furiously to clear it. The Pa. turnpike is free to all motorists today due to the inconvience.

I believe my choice of a grilled chicken burrito and nachos for dinner last night was a very poor choice that is going to continue haunting me throughout today.

I don't think I will ever be able to hear a siren without thinking that someone I know is in danger, even if I live in the city for years.

This heat needs to fuck off now. Summer's supposed to be over, dammit!
The kebab place that opened up in town is awesome
I wonder if there's a conspiracy to distract people from the potential of the Internet and other new technologies to enable them to be producers and not just consumers, or whether people are just like that anyway?
I wonder if I will ever really feel confident around women? Not that it's a problem girlfriend-wise now, but still, it sucks.

People can hurt you whenever they like, a word, an action or just a look.
Confidence is knowing the failure is theirs, not yours (so long as you're being the nice guy).
It's still not pleasant, but deal with it.
We don't have the fires, but this heat is still huge, like you're locked in a sauna and some idiot just threw another pot of water on the stones.

*sending freighters of ice and snow to australia* we've got enough so don't feel bad about taking it...no, really, i insist.
i love kebabs, preferably beef with many veggies and nice teriyaki marinade...i'll trade some for the snow. what's your fave, belial? and...interesting theory. me? i think that mostly people are just afraid of what they don't entirely understand. |

You've only ever seen me in August. Maybe I'm not so hot in February |
