Today is a third day off from school. All the sleety snow that fell on Tuesday night is now frozen hard. My own street still has a sheet of ice on it.
I’ve had about enough of the house. I was concerned on Tuesday that we might lose electricity, but that didn’t happen so much in Northern Virginia. (Maryland is a different story, however.) Since we had power, I had Internet. I am now one with my computer, and I’ve almost made a complete migration of three websites to one new server.
About midday yesterday I had to leave the house. So what did I do? Like all good Americans, I went to the mall.
But as you can see, not a lot of other people made it to the shopping cathedral. It’s still quite cold, and after a warm January, folks may be in shock.
