Fun, Sun, & Incoming Mortar Rounds
Fortunately it has stopped snowing. I was starting to get worried that the weather would screw up my vacation plans.

He Needed That Like a He Needs a Hole in the Head
An Australian handyman accidentally shot himself in the head with a nailgun while goofing around with his buddies. Brad Shorten says he picked up the tool, which had been disconnected from the compressor, pointed it at his head, and pulled the trigger.
That's when Shorten discovered that pressure can remain in a nailgun even after you think it's safe to do really stupid things with it.

Surprisingly, alcohol was involved.

Flakes
The weather forecast for today was 45 degrees and chance of showers. No mention of snow, which is what has been falling for the last two hours or so. It's not sticking just yet, but we'll see what happens as the day goes on.

My greatest fear is that if this keeps up for a few months, we'll be reduced to starving mobs, roaming the countryside in a desperate search for food, until we are finally forced to resort to cannibalism in a desperate bid to survive. But that's okay, because there are plenty of old people around here, and they can't move very fast.
