It's been below freezing here since Tuesday night, and yesterday most of the state was having rolling blackouts to try to conserve power. I didn't get one at home, probably because our house is close to both a high school and a hospital. (Though the steam heating plant at the university was down for several hours yesterday.) There's a winter storm warning starting at noon, so I need to get to the post office before then.

When you need a break, two links from the Henson company: Jim Henson's Red Book In June 1965, 28-year-old Jim Henson started a written log of his activities in what became known as "The Red Book." He noted down what had happened up until that point (deemed "Ancient History") and then recorded anything that he felt was worth recording as single line journal entries until the end of 1988.

Neat t-shirts from Stargate: Atlantis, Farscape, and tons of other shows.
