Empty libraries make Dewey cry

I'm not sure if I like the purpose or design of this t-shirt better. Most times, the only people who think like this are librarians, but this time Glarkware outdid itself. Known more for their irreverent and non-sensical designs, Glarkware is dontating the whole sticker price of the shirt to this year’s book drive charities the Rockhouse Foundation and Children’s Institute. If you'd rather not have the t-shirt, you can dontate directly at Dewey Donation System. Go on... do a good deed for libraries.

Yes, I am obsessed with the weather

Yesterday morning a freak winter storm blew in to San Diego, and after having been told that we would only get a little drizzle, it poured all day long. It was 58 when I got to work at 8:30am, but by the time I left at 4:00pm, it was 44!! As a result, we got snow in the mountains, and many country dwellers had trouble getting home due to road closures.

While I can appreciate that to those who live in climates that actually have weather, this is par for the course, but in San Diego, it is quite a sight to see snow on my way to work, and from my office window. So bear with me while I express my awe with mother nature. AAAWWW...


Driving on Interstate 15 (yes, I took the picture while driving), this shot looks north east towards Palomar Mountain. Palomar Mountain got 10-11 inches of snow from the storm.





This is the beautiful view from my office window. Gotta love working for the gov'ment.
