Once again, while all the schools (and colleges) around the Boulder campus closed for the snow storm, my place of employment was open. Seriously? But it all turned out okay. There was very little traffic on the way in (since a lot of smart people stayed home anyway). And work was light and easy.
When I got home, I snapped some pictures of the snow. I love it. Especially this time of year, because it’s not terribly cold.
Last year, we had a pretty well defined summer, autumn, and then winter. Then in spring, things went a bit crazy. It was snowy and cold. Then the summer came and it was one of the wettest I’ve ever remembered. I shouldn’t be surprised then that this year’s fall season is quite cold and frosty already. Today on the way out of work the flatirons look quite icy and snowy. I wasn’t the only one taking photographs.
As for my day. It was all about IdM again. I spent hours looking at code and my brain is fried.
Yep, it snowed today. Not a whole lot, but enough to postpone the Rockies game and it was really super cold. So I pretty much stayed inside with friends today. I got the crock pot out. Caught up on a lot of my favorite shows. And played an epic game of scrabble. It may not appear epic, because we’re not that smart and it took forever. But we scored about 600 points and used all of the letters.
I did "quiet" and "zoo/or" back-to-back, for like 75 points!
Today was my first day back to work. Things went really easily. I didn’t have terribly much to catch up on surprisingly, and I didn’t have any voicemail. It was wonderful! In fact, it seemed as if nothing changed or progressed in my absence. But one thing did change. Fall had swept through campus and the leaves were falling.
September is here and I am so excited! I leave for London in 22 days. I can’t wait! Anyway, I actually didn’t snap a picture today. Long day and a huge shopping trip to Target after work. I was there for two hours. I bought stuff for my trip mostly and groceries. I’m about to head up stairs and read for the rest of the night, so nothing quite worthy of a photograph. But last night, after I posted, I heard that the moon was really incredible. Sadly, it’s due to thew wildfires in California, but it was still quite a sight to see.
I suspect tonight's moon looks quite similar.
