Now that November is over, things have turned a bit chilly here in the Great White North. There’s quite a but of snow this morning “up north” as we say here (the dreaded “north of the Thruway”) – including 18 inches overnight up in Osceola, which should help to curtail this sort of thing – but, so far, nothing on the ground here. That’s supposed to end later on, as the bands of lake effect snow drift south as the day rolls on, though we’re not really expected to get more than a dusting. Personally, I like to see the snow. It brightens everything up – which is nice, now that it gets dark at 5:00.
Yeah, I know. When you start talking about the weather, it’s pretty much an admission that youhave nothing else to say. Hell, whattya expect, it’s Monday. Bleh.
Another Monday and this one is going to be long. That monthly conference is this afternoon. Two really boring hours to sit through and hear the same things I’ve hear and ignored for years. The boss wants us to e frugal and save money. She could save oodles of he stuff by NOT having a conference every month and there would be no impact on the organization.
Have a good one.
Okay, dogs are getting along famously. But Lottie keeps thinking I want in on the fun and bites my pajama pants and pulls. Here we go with training her what NO! means. And I wonder what kind of mess I will come home to. :tap: :pup:

Remember when Doris Kearns Goodwin and the rest of the elite media socialites took to the studios of Charlie Rose’s show to portray the opponents of the bailout as wild-eyed leftists? Seems there’s some serious bipartisan pushback going on (h/t Atrios):
Blah
:joe: Not much going on here.
How’s everyone’s feelings?
How do you use that, Travis?

I have an urge to build a paper model of this for some reason.
I think that urge has faded. :yawn:
Bah…everyone complains about the weather, but no one does anything about it! :tap:
:cold:
It’s a regular winter wonderland out there right now. Snowing like crazy – like being inside a snow globe. It’s really beautiful.

This is making me fume! 😡
An oil refinery is located on the north bank of a straight river that is 2 km wide. A pipeline is to be constructed from the refinery to storage tanks located on the south bank of the river 6 km east of the refinery. The cost of laying pipe is $400,000/ km over land to a point P on the north bank and $800,000/ km under the river to the tanks. To minimize the cost of the pipeline, where should point P be located?
