[Icon in honor of item #1, not item #2. But I don't get to use this icon often enough, darnit.]
1. We're not buried in snow. I have been informed that at least in some areas the "omigosh, towns buried in snow" news about Oregon has been remarkably general about indicating who is affected. Those towns are in the mountains, as far as I know all are above 3500 feet above sea level. I feel very bad for them, but we're in the valley at about 150 feet above sea level, so I don't feel very threatened by the snow. In fact, I don't have any snow. (I wouldn't mind an inch or so, but I wouldn't trade no snow for their problem. Some places got almost three feet in about 36 hours if I read the news correctly. That is too much snow in too short a time for my tastes, thanks. Especially since many of them were also buried - literally, they had some concerns about structural soundness in some places.) But, again, not us.
2. Scott and I went to Claim Jumpers for dinner last night! He really likes the place. I really didn't, but it's hard to sort out how much of that was circumstantial. I know I don't like it enough to go back. I'm not sure if I dislike it intensely or if I was just the queen of irritability, though.
( Details )
So yes, I'm whiny, and thus not sure how much my evaluation is worth, but I do know I don't intend to go back there. (Okay, if a group function goes there, I will. But I think I'll order a salad.)
And now I stop this post, and I wander off to do things, like run errands and go to the Japanese Garden and suchlike. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll babble about something else later. ;)
