There were two miracles today and one startling revelation
Miracle 1:  This morning it was snowing on the way to work.  I know this seems like nothing to people not from Texas, but this happens so rarely that I'm willing to call it magic.  It put a kind of flake-of-ice-in-the-eye glow on the rest of the day.

Miracle 2:  On the road today, I saw the rarest of custom truck paint jobs: the self-referencing tailgate mural.   There's nothing like a truck with a painting of itself on the tailgate to add a touch of whimsy to America's highways.

Startling Revelation 1:  My ability at chess playing varies wildly depending on whether or not the board is in three dimensions.  In meatspace the lines don't look right and bishops come out of nowhere.  I am nigh undefeated over Facebook, but I lost three games in a row in my office today.

That's it for now.

Well then you should probably bring it. Although I make no promises of skill or winningness; I only play two other people and my wife.

Re: Miracle 1

Is that what was going on? My fianceé and I are driving down to Galveston from Indiana, and we kept saying "When are we going to stop seeing snow?"* We gave up at about Little Rock.

We also decided it would be pointless to wash my filthy car until we got to a place where they would be all, "Why on earth would you pour perfectly good salt on your roads?"


*We didn't actually keep saying it over and over.

When you have some ice in your eye, is that a good thing or a bad thing? I haven't seen snow in about 12 years so I forget sometimes.

Also, and this is probably the worst channel to ask (or is it the best??), do you have any oyster t-shirts left for sale?? I'm pretty sure I'm a medium and my parents were all 'you can get one,' because they liked the platypus shirt I had on today. I just need to figure out the difference between chestnut and chocolate (I assume it's like, um, toupe and beige, or perhaps mauve and carnation??).
