8. March, 2003 - Baby, it's cold outside
- Several inches of snow in central, southern Minnesota plus temperatures below zero tonight, and Minneapolis has declared a Snow Emergency.
- Due to the snow emergency, I had to go outside to do the car-shuffle. It’s actually pretty nice out there. A blue sky with just enough clouds to make it interesting, almost no wind, and while the temp is in the single-digits (Fahrenheit), it wasn’t that brutal. The snow was light and fluffy and because it’s a Saturday, it wasn’t packed down too much yet by people walking to school, and Brad from the church next door had gotten out the snowblower and cleaned the sidewalk the whole length of the block, so I only had to shovel the stretch from the front-door to the sidewalk. In any case, it was an inspiring day, leading me to bang out a few more essays for the geography section.
- In Garcia's Shadow, the Dead's New Guitarist Has His Own Sound. Long article about Jimmy Herring, the guitarist who’s playing with the Dead (no longer the Grateful Dead). [scripting]
- Check out the IMDB worst movies of 2002. Vote early. Vote often. [fark!]
- ACLU in Hot Water for Potential Privacy Violation by revealing personal email addresses in a mass-mailing. Two years ago, they criticized Eli Lilly for the same stupid mistake. [fark!]
- HoJoLand chronicles the decline and fall of the Howard Johnson’s empire. Did you know there are only 11 restaurants left?
- Beverages & More! The amazon.com of the alcoholic? It looks like it may be.
- Man fakes choking to pick up ladies. Well, there’s one approach. [fark!]
