Man, I'm gone for 24 hours and it snows on the profile page. Surely someone coordinated this, right? Well, at any rate, thanks to painlessj,
sapote3.livejournal.com, not_sally, reedfem, krossero, laceymcbain, ninasis, geeklite, and two anonymous people.
I was away because I couldn't get my ancient iBook to boot up (if this happens to anyone else, remove the battery, attach the power cable, and hit the startup button).
Today was the day of my semi-occasional Solitary Expedition, which is when I, with breathtaking environmental irresponsibility, drive long distances to hang out in malls and buy not a huge amount of anything. (Last time, I went to an outlet mall outside Indianapolis -- that's like a four-hour drive, one-way, in order to buy two pairs of pants, one shirt, a belt, a packet of socks, and some chocolate covered dried cherries.)
This time I went north. There had been a half-inch of snow last night, and as I was driving past the nature preserve, I could see stretches of prairie grass and coneflower plants (the cones are of course bare this time of year), and every seedhead and cone had its own little cap of snow. Beautiful.
