Rochester has been hit by an ice storm. This morning I needed to break through a layer of ice to get into my car. There are downed trees and powerlines all over the place. However, this doesn’t even compare to the Great Ice Storm of 1991. That one apparently decimated the region. Folks were without power for over a week in most places as Julia can attest to. So this really isn’t anything to complain about.
In other news, men from the future are here and investing!
lists
I have no right to be any where near as tired as I’ve been for the last few days. I just don’t seem to have any energy. Or focus for that matter. One the plus side, I’ve been getting a lot of things accomplished at work. And outside of work for that matter. I attribute both of those successes to maintaining lists. I’ve gotten to the point where I carry two small spiral bound notebooks with me at all times. One’s for work “to-do’s”, the other for personal ones. And I’ve managed to knock a lot of stuff off those lists.
Unfortunately, this accomplishing of goals has led to rather dry blog posts. In fact my brother Glenn has heckled me about this recently. So I do promise that I’m going to try to be more interesting in the days and weeks to come. On the other hand I’ve consistantly updated both blogs on time and one schedule, so that has to be worth something.
snow
It’s sunny and warm here in Rochester… April Fools!
There’s snow on the ground. And more was coming down this morning. While there isn’t a lot, we hit whiteout conditions a couple of times yesterday. And all this leads me to wonder, as I often do, what fundimental argument God had with the areas founding fathers? And was it really so bad that he had to damn the entire region out right?
