So there I was driving S on I-89 in VT Monday morning and there were several of those light-up, electronic signs they use to warn drivers of road conditions and issues or pending construction start times. Well there were three separate signs like this and they all read "SNOW, SLEET and FR RAIN! ARE YOU READY?" When I saw the first one I thought, "What? Did I miss something?" When I could, I pulled off and checked Weather Underground, because I sure didn't want to drive clear to NH only to encounter bad weather on the way home later today. We were expecting 0 precip! I think it was highly irresponsible for them to use the signs for a reminder to get ready for Winter. I mean, c'mon, it's Vermont!! DUH!!
I just upgraded my desktop to Windows 10, mostly because I needed a program -- apparently they're calling them "apps" nowdays without regard to Apple -- that was only available for Windows 10. (Long story about my 7,000+ titles on barnesandnoble.com.) I was pleasantly surprised. Relatively minor user interface differences from Windows 7 and all my existing programs seem to still work. In fact, a couple that had been experiencing problems after their most recent updates are now working better. Only problem was that I found myself paying $30 for a program (er, app) that would update all my device drivers including hose on the computer itself. But that's done.
Elizabeth Warren spoke out on the Senate floor today in support of the refugees. This woman is so amazing! We need more leaders like her. If she were running for President she would definitely win. She's poised and brilliant and a woman, so move over Hillary. She's got a heart of gold and is able to articulate the way forward so well, so move over Bernie. But seeing as she didn't run (talk about SMART!) she will probably be our next VP, either way. ;-)
Here's looking at all Howard accomplished!

"if only we had a seasonally appropriate story about middle eastern people seeking refuge being turned away by the heartless"
