Batting clean-up

Broomed off the cars again, cleared back around them, ran the snowblower up and down and around and through.  About another 2" of snow since yesterday's efforts, which puts us at the low end of the predicted range.  Not that I feel neglected, mind you...

And now the wind gusts out there, with a bite.  Got snow-bombed by our side-yard maple tree while working.

Round of mixed precip predicted for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Venom and supposedly sentient people

One of the joys of SFWA membership would have to be the feet-of-clay phenomenon -- watching political debate (or any kind of debate, on any subject) degenerate into garden-variety Usenet flame-wars.  People you'd like to admire for their work, revealed as petty vicious beasts, probably the kind who cackle demonically while drowning kittens and pulling the wings off flies...

One of the things revealed by the tone of argument is that some members don't think a particular candidate had any right running for office at all.  Last time I checked, any "active" member could run for office.  No nominating petition required, no minimum standards of character or background.  Could be an active pedophile.

You don't like him/her/it, vote accordingly.  Get a life.
