Another couple of days getting through winter.

We're back in the snow again, about 15" Monday here on Ledge Hill. I left for work when it had barely started to snow - by the time I left there was over 6" of snow on my truck. Not as much snow on the coast as at home.

At lunch time I wandered up the street to Starbucks for
a Grande-Bold, my usual, a scattering of folks weathering
the storm with a beverage and a good book.

I took my libation to a table by the window
looking out upon Congress Street.

This view is down the street in front of my
office building.

On another note, Saturday Carol and I went to the Mall. She dropped me off at Borders while she headed to the nearby craft stores. I had a gift card that Lois and Jim gave me for Christmas. So I spent an enjoyable hour plus looking over ever the entire store. Ended up with three books, a magazine and a DVD. The books were: "Crossover" by Joel Shepherd; "Earthfall" the fourth volume of the Homecoming series by Orsen Scott Card; and "Look to Windward" by Iain Banks, an author I've seen mentioned several times in Asimov's editorials. All the books are science fiction. The DVD was scifi as well, "Blade Runner", been wanting that one for awhile, dark but one of the best. The mag was "Trailer Life", has an article about weight distribution bars for towing campers, thought it might be helpful, especially if I read it.
