I've been living in or around Washington, DC for almost seven years now. And the snowfall has been extremely disappointing. Two to six inches at most, all the while watching locals drive into each other because they don't know how to drive on a sunny day, let alone flurries. Well, things finally changed, and it was awesome:

SNOWPOCALYPSE DC 2010!!!

As a federal employee, I technically had the whole of last week off. However, my particular agency specializes in providing secure communication capabilities to people in far worse conditions. Therefore, we have an excellent telework program. So relax, taxpayers. You got your value from at least one group of people.

Here are a few pictures from the perimeter of my burrow. Not one snow plow for a week. If this happened back in Maine, things would have moved a little faster. Meh.

I got to see the Atlantic ocean on Christmas. That was nice.

Holy crap, I've been writing this thing for a long time. I remember writing about my music and junk in the mid-'90's on some now-defunct Web host (for which lot's of entries are now forever lost). I thought by now I'd have grown up. Guess not. My refusal to join social networks makes this really the only way distant friends can at least get a general idea of where I am and what I'm up to. So, I'll continue for the time being.

Welcome to 2010.

Let's see what happens.
