I thought I would be posting late today because I had plans this morning that were going to interfere with my normal schedule. Upon waking, the streets were, and for the moment still are, covered in a thin layer of ice. This being Texas, and the metroplex at that, no one knows how to drive on ice but they try anyway which leads to even more dangerous road conditions than usual. The weathermen are freaking out the way they do this time of year, and the school district has closed the schools for the day. Again, since this is Texas, the good news is that the sun will be bright and shiny and everything should be melted away by midafternoon. In the meantime, I’ll be hunkering down under layers of warm blankets with a good book and my trusty DS.
