It doesn’t snow in the Pacific Northwest too often–the Pacific Ocean keeps things too warm to do anything but rain The city’s infrastructure is apparently not set up to deal with this, as roads were shut down, the transit system was defunct, and the snow plows and sanding trucks were nowhere to be seen.

I’ve been in an entirely unwritey mood lately Pretty much since the gallbladder surgery last month Some random, unimportant-in-the-scheme-of-things has happened since I last wrote. The druid and I are doing as well as ever
