8:55PM Eastern arrived home. What a contrast. Landed in the middle of a blizzard. It was in the 70s and 80s in Calif. Hot and sweet-smelling air. We're having a lite blizzard here in the Boston area. No drifts and not a big accumulatioin, but it's still strange. I'm more comfortable here than there, though. I get to wear enough clothes here. Over there, I felt overdressed.  

Okay I know I'm late for this party, but I'm in SFO using T-Mobile wireless, did an aggregator run, downloaded my spam email, and otherwise marveled at how pervasive computer tech has become. I could upload my pics here if I wanted to. Also had an epiphany taking the tram from car rental return. There's no driver. First time (I think) I've ridden in a vehicle that was moving that didn't have a human operator, or at least a supervisor. Actually I've ridden the tram before, so this is just the first time I realized it was human operatorless.

Boston University has a really cool webcam. It's live-motion. The art in webcams has been moving unbeknownst to me. Anyway you can see the snow. Not so much as it sounds in the press or in the suburbs. (Halley, Jim and I all live in the burbs.)
