Bright, clear, cold, and dry

[muckefuck]

That's today's weather in a nutshell. A little above freezing right now, but with bold blue skies and almost nothing on the ground. I saw a few ice slicks on the way in, but I imagine they've since resumed their slow trickle into the sewers. Coming to work was spooky. I literally didn't see a single person on the roads or paths all the way from the el (I stupidly missed the shuttle again) to the front door. But all my staff was here and seemed happy to see me again. I can't imagine I'll get much done and there's nothing open on the campus, so I'm already planning a leisurely walk down to Pita Pete's for lunch.
