Misc

Had a mega snowfall 2 weeks ago. Don't think I could make it out of my parking lot, but it was awesome for going for a walk since it was warmish. Just have to put on my invinçaboots. I found a big empty field and walked out some artwork. Made a giant peace sign, a couple of pacman-style faces talking to each other, and a ghandi quote (that was the hardest). Wish I could see them from above. Made sure to leave a lot of blank canvas for anyone else.

A week later another snowfall. Chilly and underdressed, but I really felt like going for a walk in it. So quiet and peaceful at night with just the squeak of boots in the snow. Spent the night at the parents so I was ready to shovel snow there and at the neighbours and at the temple.

Went to the zoo on saturday with Evelyn. Definitely making the annual pass worthwhile. The coolest thing on this visit was a bald eagle deciding to take a bath. Brrr, cold even thinking about it. Didn't get to see any colobus which had been Evelyn's main target, oh well.

Went for a bike ride today in the nice-ish weather. Back when I used to ride to and from work from my parents area, I used to think I should someday get splash guards for riding in the rain. For some reason I never did. So today was fun, got nice and messy. Felt like putting on an awful british accent to announce "I've got a wet bum, I 'ave!" I wore shorts and sandals cause I didn't want my shoes getting soaked. Of course, icy water plus wind in this weather is still enough to freeze your tootsies! On the way home I went full speed through a particularly deep puddle. I didn't realize quite how cold my feet were until I got in the shower and felt the pain. But it was still fun! Maybe do another tomorrow.

So those are a few random stories.
