Cold

If I had made the OK Cupid Death Quiz, I'd have given everybody an identical date of death, with the linked image set to constantly update to three days in the future, and I'd have given the cause of death in every case as Armageddon.

So, this place is still being refrigerated once the sun goes down. Rain is expected Wednesday, and with precipitation's arrival the nighttime temperature will rise once again. So far, we're not on the track for snowstorms this year. It's just as well, as I don't feel like shoveling. That recent period of mild weather caused many of the plants to develop buds early, though, and I'm hoping that another such period doesn't send them into premature blooming. The icy nights between storms would slaughter anything that dared grow this early, leaving us with a dull spring.

A young cricket has taken up residence in the bathroom, but I haven't heard it chirp yet. I hope it remains in that room. The cat almost never goes into the bathroom, and even then never climbs onto the counter where the cricket is. If the insect decided to explore another part of the house, though, it would be apt to become a protein supplement to kitty's diet. The cricket is probably wise not to chirp and attract feline attention.

I still haven't found the maps I've been looking for. A more thorough cleaning of the room is in order.

Also, I need to get some more wintry user icons.

Speaking of maps, have you seen this map (http://www.economist.com/books/displaystory.cfm?story_id=5381851)? The In people knew this story years ago, but it's at least nice it's getting some screentime.

I once kept a cricket alive for three years. I have him preserved in a jar of honey in the kitchen.

Hercules used to fiddle me to sleep, and I cherished him.

We also carried a cricket home beneath the ice-machine from the jungles of venuzela to the USA. Never could find the bugger, but he was, also, a magnificant fiddler...

And this continent was so dull they forgot all about it?
Though the West forgot the world was round for quite a long time, having once known it. Who knows?
