Surreptitious Sunshine.

It’s 63 degrees and sunny out. The trees are budding. Still! Am I in a deceptively warm and happy dream sequence, which at any moment will turn all waa-waa phantasmagoric with giant man-eating maggots and nuclear waste sunsets, and from which I will wake with chills and sweats, feeling like sleep is more difficult than wakefulness?
Or is it just global warming Jack Abramoff’s doing? (edit made in response to Kate’s complaint)
I’m thinking maybe today in my meeting I will keep one eye crossed the whole time and see if anybody notices.
Oh, and Nate, the author of the raven article, posted some comments about my comments on it. We’re so meta! If you want to get meta-meta, you can comment on his comments on my comments.

WordPress = good (so far)…
WARNING: the Meta category is for stuff about this blog and blogging, it could be as boring as Maintenance for many of you
Looks like WordPress 2.0.1 was released yesterday. I’ve got my personal work blog set up from the WordPress Subversion…
eye crossing? brilliant. just don’t get a headache.
No! It is not global warming! Has everyone forgotten about the past three years of colder-than-usual D.C. winters? Not to mention, the colder-than-usual December?
It is just a happy accident. How I love happy accidents.
We’re having some weird weather over here today, too. Within a 4 hour period: it was sunny and gorgeous, then we had a monsoon-type rainstorm (the heaviest rain I’ve seen all year), and now it’s back to sunny and gorgeous (too bad I’m stuck inside my office).
heatherfeather, I forgot to try it. I just sat there politely in the meeting and contributed when appropriate. Bummer.
Kate, Okay, you got me. I was deliberately making faulty correllations. Doing pseudo science. But as a crack reporter, it’s my job to make any insinuation I feel like, and the job of my target to prove I’m wrong. (So come on, global warming. The ball’s in your court!) First rule of blogging! Still, I edited my post for your sake.
Marie, the weather in Eugene must have something to do with you.
Hoo. Power to the peeps, yo!
We are just finishing up the third coldest January in 35 years here in Fairbanks, Alaska, or so I heard.
My theory: weather is always remarkable because people have short memories. It’s warm for a week and people go, “Global Warming!” or it’s cold for a couple days and we’re all, “Pshaw, what idiot came up with ‘global warming’!?”
That’s why I like it when it’s like this week. -51 ° the other day when I commented on your comments, then it “warms up” to -19 ° and everyone’s like, “Sure Am Glad It’s Only Twenty Below! Grin!”
