Baby it's cold outside

My gosh the sky is pretty just now as the sun is rising.

The city is clearing up slowly but surely. Starting to hear news stories now of people hurt or killed by snowplow blades, mostly private trucks with blades i think. They can't see around the snow banks and people in driveways aren't watching either. Saw a line about a kid that slid under a car on his toboggan and was hurt. On top of that, there have been a few house fires. There always is in winter when it storms or gets cold.

A quote by a local editorial columnist, Brian Flemming, on last week's US innauguration speech "Bush's 21-minute oration mentioned freedom 27 times, liberty 15 times, tyranny seven times, God four times and peace once." that pretty much tells us his agenda doesn't it? America figures it will "share freedom" with "anyone it thinks should have "freedom;"" How do you share freedom? oh well, by taking over the country i guess. That's one scary man. Bush, not Flemming.

Alan Alda has been nominated for an Oscar. His first nomination. Michael Moore didn't submit Fahrenheit 9/11 in the documentary category hoping to get a Best Picture nomination. He didn't. And the Passion of the Christ which was apparently the top grossing film, got shut out too. The only picture with major acting or other awards i've seen is Finding Neverland. I would have seen the Aviator if i could stand looking at or listening to Leonardo. I can't. I might manage it on dvd or on the movie channel.

My electrician made a house call tonight. He brought homemade bread but forgot the fuses. Ah well lol He tested the existing fuses even though i had thought i sussed out that the problem wasn't a fuse and it turns out it was, and not even the one i had originally suspected. So much for being an electrician's daughter lol We shifted a 20 amp one from the stove to the wall so i could use the outlet as he said it would be ok until i got the 15 amp ones which i will do after work tomorrow.

One of my coworkers is going to bring in a lasagna and share it for lunch tomorrow. someone else is bringing in caesar salad. Yum :)

One of my female coworkers is pregnant and due in July, 4 other male coworkers' partners are pregnant, all due between June and July. I may avoid drinking from the water cooler ;)

Can you believe it's almost the end of the first month of the year *already*???? GACK!
