After the debacle yesterday where thousands of commuters proved the difference between the roads being passable and ready for commuting, everything opens three hours late again today over fears of the overnight freezing. The higher afternoon temps are melting the huge mounds of snow [altho you can hardly see the difference visually] and the roads are all soaked, which means everything freezes solid overnight. Most schools in the area threw in the towel yesterday and announced they were closed for the week -- smart move since as an ex-school bus driver, I can tell you that there ain't no way a bus could navigate those residential streets the way that they are now!

Today in history: In 814 Charlemagne dies of pleurisy in Aachen as the first Holy Roman Emperor [what is the old joke? It was none of those things -- not holy, not Roman and not technically an empire]. He is succeeded by his son Louis the Pious, who kept things together for another generation in its entirety. After he died, its division between Louis's own sons is said to have laid the foundation for the modern states of Germany and France.
Quote of the day: “Watch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.” ~ Norman Vincent Peale

January was a month that reminded us brutally that going to the stars is dangerous. Yesterday was the horrible fire of Apollo 1. And thirty years ago today, the launch of STS-51-L ended in tragedy when Space Shuttle Challenger and crew were lost 73 seconds after liftoff. Crew of STS-51-L: Ellison Onizuka, Mike Smith, Christa McAuliffe, Dick Scobee, Greg Jarvis, Ron McNair, and Judith Resnik.
