now it's up to 60mph winds....

Since Sandy, there's been a lot of wind. Something definitely changed.

If it was the same system that came through here last night the wind was strong and the snow was heavy! I was a little worried driving back because had it been earlier in the year, it would have been a white out.

I'm sure she's fine. She's over Wyoming right now. I bought her a 3DS today as an extra birthday present. She enjoyed toodling around on mine.

I took a class on "real world" math this semester to finally get that math requirement out of the way, and although it's informative, I am bored senseless. Good stuff to know, but jeez, talk about dense material. Uuuf.

Here again, we see and acknowledge the beauty of P-Math, 1 2 Many man.

Saturday non-GS report, see man:

After arising, as predicted, we were completely out-wiped* man.

*in Canadia, "oot-wiped," eh man

Gassed/warshed the T-B.-mobile & Mrs. T-B.-mobile, proof positive man.

Lunched at Burger King with use of a coupon, $mart man.

Got no nap, no zzz man.

Played for Many (2+2) hours with Mini-B., inventive wee man.

We first played with Thomas & Friends, peep peep man.

Mini-B. held comparative races, then added variables, wee man.

Mini-B.'s color commentary quite accurate, si wee man.

We next played with Lincoln Logs, hadn't seen those for Many years man.

Mini-B. demonstrated knowledge of fizziks, wee man.

We mowed front yard and went to Aldi, si man.

Mrs. T-B. did all nails tonight, nail she man.

Wafting aromas frying our already-muddled brain, a mind is a terrible thing to lose man.

Dished the warsher and warshered/dried 2 laundry loads, Many tomorrow man.

So tired that we can't keep eyes open, look out man.

$Many ($2+2), steal man

-- half-box paper clips, sharp kitchen knife, book of insect stickers for MIni-B. = $1, steal man
