MISERABLE WEATHER

The snow has stopped. Unfortunately, though, it's turned into an extremely seriously annoying rainstorm. The streets, sidewalks, etc. are all covered with slush from a combination of rain & snow. At least it's nowhere near as bad as last year around this time. The traffic is much more annoying under these circumstances than it usually is. Schools & lots of other places are closed down. The library opened late. They closed at 2:00 yesterday & opened at 11:30 today. I found out from a sign on the front door that as of the eighteenth of the month, they won't let patrons access our Myspace accounts from here anymore. Everybody seems to hate Myspace. Saturday morning, I have to go to another Carmelite meeting. Those meetings always seem to go quite well. Unfortunately, Mary Anne still hasn't come back & the attendance for most of the others isn't usually anything to brag about but other than that things usually work out pretty smoothly. Right now there's a family of trouble makers right next to me. A couple & their junior high school son are talking loud & making fools of themselves. Of course, they come fully equipped with constantly ringing cell phones, like all of today's truly hep ignoramuses.
