Saturday.

The day started out looking rather nice, but the skies started to look rather ominous around 15:00. By 16:00, dust and other particulates had turned the sky a dull and hazy grey. Joy. Then the winds began to pick up. Then dirt-laden rain started to fall. Just another atmospherically peachy day behind the Zion Curtain. On the “plus” side, however, it was fairly decent with respect to the temperature.

The day, at large (or small):

  • Got together with Land and Adrian to go over some things.
  • Had lunch with Jess and Jim (a friend of ours, not her stepdad).
  • Went parts shopping for a new puter for Jim… and ran into Toad, one of our techs from work.
  • Came home; I had forgotten a couple of reasonably important things that I would need to complete the transformation from “random silicon-based parts” to “computer.”
  • Went to Jim’s and set up the new system.
  • Went bowling, with Larry and Mary (no relation). We met Amber, Marcy, Kristen and Kim, who were bowling on the lane next to us. They were nice. And amusing.
  • Late/early breakfast with L and M at the local Village Inn. I have NO idea what it was that they were attempting to pass off as coffee, but to call it “coffee” would have been a gross misnomer. “Gruel” or “sludge” would have been a little closer to the mark. The food, however, wasn’t bad. When our waiter figured out the concept of “Try the other coffee pot,” we actually got something that looked and tasted like coffee.
  • Came home.

And, sometime between the time I came home and 06:00, the rain changed to a mixture of snow and rain. Yippee.

Peace.
