Well, as most of us know by now, the stupid rodent saw his shadow, so we’re in for six more weeks of winter. My gut reaction is to swear profusely, but then I started thinking. It’s February 2nd…how would it be remotely possible to NOT have at least six more weeks of winter? I mean, obviously it depends on where you live, but where I’m from we often have fresh snowfall in mid-April (and on a few memorable occasions, in early May), so it’s not really a huge stretch. Doesn’t mean I have to like it, of course, but it isn’t a surprise.

I cannot stay awake, nor can I keep warm, and now both of my knees feel like someone took after them with a baseball bat instead of just the one I actually injured. I’d better not be coming down with something! To distract myself, I’m going to do an entire post full of motherboards and cases. OK, so that has little to do with distraction and everything to do with the state of my inbox, but whatever.
