What can I say? It's cold!

Not too many posts - just too busy (how long can I use that as an excuse?)
Got sick with a bad cold this week - thankfully ther's such a thing as nyquil - read a couple of books, though. Dark Summit - thanks to a loan from Heidi - and The Great Influenza about the 1918 epidemic. Interestingly, most young healthy people died because their immune systems overreacted to the virus. Subject matter is interesting, but the book is not an easy or pleasureable read. Author could have done better with the subject matter. What else?
It's freaking cold. The wind just blows right through you. BTW, my sis said IT SNOWED IN BOSSIER CITY, LA TODAY! Freak occurrence...
hmm, what else?
Downloaded the 2009 Sustainable Seafood Guide from http://www.mbayaq.org/cr/cr_seafoodwatch/download.aspx
Oh, and studying Map Accuracy Assessment - which is as exciting as it sounds. That's why my blog is being updated - Kappa calculations!
Anyway, hope to feel much better so I feel like skiing this weekend.
A regular Gardiner winter, it is.

  1. It's cold up here too. At least it's never windy. HATED that damned wind. Remember when it blew over my woodpile?
