Perhaps they wanted to make sure he actually graduated, before offering the real starting salary.

Pipes survived night one, though it's still well below freezing (so they're still dripping). We will call Austin Water soon to have it shut off this afternoon, and then drained with the water heater off while we're gone. Texas is stupid.

We’re expecting something similar here outside Beantown. I went and got booze today and moved a couple bags of firewood in so we’ll be locked and loaded. Hopefully.
Guess there will be more Zwifting. Who am I kidding though? I’m not biking outside until May at the earliest…

R.I.P. Thom Bell. Songwriter, arranger and producer. One of the early architects of the Philly Sound. Probably best known for all those great hits recorded by The Spinners and The Stylistics.

Rockport/Cape Ann down the coast are getting some solid wind. Hope they keep power and make it through this without a scratch.

We back up into the woods and we had to take a couple trees down 2 years ago. The wind has me thinking there were a few others we should’ve snagged.

Early quit around noon, noon-ish, which I interpret as 11:30-ish. It's raining lightly again. Freeze supposed to hit this area between 12:00 and 2:00.

The one thing I don’t miss is commuting into Boston from up that way. 90 minutes to go 13 miles on a good day.

My place was packed on Wednesday, even before noon. People had that holiday frantic edge about them like it was New Year’s Eve, especially in the whiskey aisle. I was thrilled to grab a Pikesville Rye which is usually hard to find . . . Merry Christmas to me!

I headed north into town an hour ago, and saw the cloud bank approaching. People are all freaked out that it will go down to 59F tonight, even though that is normal for this time of year. Excitable news from up north gets people here excited. The coasts are expecting heavy winds and high seas. Inland it will be same old same old. But we have to freak out anyway, I guess. I plan to ride this afternoon, barring rain

Hose bib froze. Thawed it with hand warmers and space heater and got it flowing well, so to my understanding nothing broke. Why we're getting the water shut off before we leave though. And Texas remains stupid.

We had a cold snap back in about 1990 when we were living in SF. It was in the high 20s overnight in The City, but in the more distant 'burbs it got significantly colder, and since they build for a low of about 30, pipes were bursting all over Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
