I’m glad I wasn’t trying to drive home last week. Especially since my normal routing takes me through the Cobequid Pass at night. On the up side, I missed the normal post-snow power outage (which the girl apparently weathered with no trouble), which means I also skipped the several hours of impotent rage and ranting [...]
You know, I probably wouldn’t be worried about this storm if Jesus was my friend.
It’s hard out there for an atheist.
In theory I’m driving down to Boston tomorrow.
My route will look something like this:
The tiny eight ball there indicates roughly where I expect to be at around 2PM local time. Why 2PM? Hold that thought.
Normally I take the southern route, going through Saint John, and crossing into Maine much closer to the ocean, but for [...]
..and here, ladies and gentlemen, you see the sky over Sayre’s “lightning farm” as Orannis the Destroyer is freed from his bindings.
OK, maybe not, although that’s pretty much exactly how I pictured that in my head.
What you’re actually looking at there is the sky over the Chaiten Volcano in Chile. No photoshoppery, the image is [...]
Science has brought us a permanent, but easily-removable, tattooing ink. Does this change the metatext of tattooing? I mean, the pain is still there, but if the permanence isn’t part of the subtext anymore, what does that mean for the story? Is it to obvious to predict the rise of a serial-tattooing culture, or a [...]
We did in fact lose power at around 3AM (or 2AM, depending when I was supposed to set my clock back, I guess.)
It was still off when I woke up, which made packing for Boston a pain in the ass. The power company was claiming that it would be back by 6PM on Monday, and [...]
Well, we did the whole checklist of simple preparations today, so hopefully the Umbrella Theory will kick in and the storm won’t cause any serious effects. Although I will honestly be severely shocked if we don’t lose power–even though the storm appears to have shifted slightly westward, meaning we might only get 100km/h winds (what [...]
I have been in a very black mood since midday Friday, and this is the last thing I need:
Since Nova Scotia Power is so incompetent1 this will probably mean that I lose power at some point tomorrow and for some time afterwards.
Since I’m supposed to be off to Boston on Sunday, this is especially annoying.
The [...]
So, last night we had a ridiculously out of season snowstorm, which dropped almost a foot of snow on us over night.
Yes, I am writing this on Easter weekend. Yes, it is April.
And yet still I saw this when I looked out the window this morning:
The one upside of this is that I got to [...]
