...i just want to knit a hat for it

- It snowed last night here and we got probably 3 inches. In typical NJ fashion these things happened in reaction to the snow:
a) All schools and non-essential businesses closed
b) Once the snow fell it started sleeting and is now raining and will be over 40 degrees by mid-afternoon
One of these days we'll get an honest to goodness snow storm...maybe
- In a weird way I am ready for classes to start. I need something to do. There are only so many things I can do around the house and errands I can run. I also tend to get a lot less done when I have lots of time to do it, it's a little absurd. I am also just ready to get this last semester started and get it over with. I am ready to be done with seminary, not so much the learning part but the paper-writing, having things due part.
- In another snow related thing: when the snow is fluffy here they use leaf blowers to clear the sidewalks, it makes no sense. I honestly think that at some point they tried to ban shovel-use in NJ and nearly all of the population backed the banning. I bet the leaf-blower lobby in the state capital is huge, almost as big as the military-arms dealer lobby in Washington.
