Snow is coming, so we are promised by the weatherman ⛄️

I think that’s a reasonable conclusion based on the radar. Nuisance snow today, maybe a few inches, maybe some rain and ice. Actually it is picking up a bit, but what do I care? The bus will make it through it even if it slips slide a bit. I have got to go in, I have diversity training today, and they’ll be up my ass if I don’t make it.

I wanted to catch the earlier express on in but it was running early and I was running late. Based on the real-time bus tracking I never had a chance of even catching it so I didn’t bother to run out to it though I did get my coat on thinking I might make it. But it’s snowing hard now, I am sure it was the driver’s first run of the day, and he didn’t want to be late for the rest of the runs for the day, which inevitably will be bogged down by the snow. I’ll probably walk down to the express lot, so I can get exercise.

Truth is I have that diversity training at 10 AM so it hardly makes sense to catch the shuttle over the Enterprise but I kind of want to stop by the office at least briefly and ride back over to training downtown with the team. Chilli cook off is on Friday, so this evening I got to at least get the beans soaked and head to bed early so I can move forward on that on Friday.

Went down to the library, made up some maps and worked on some projects. I’ve been thinking a bit about that one piece of land on that dirt road I was looking at out in Berne for building my off-grid cabin. Kind of too far to commute from, and it would be basically impossible to get to work from there with that steep hill being a complete bitch in the winter. But I was having that dream, even if it’s not a realistic one. It’s tough being in this cold apartment in the winter, though riding both ways to work yesterday was so awesome. It just doesn’t feel like work without the commute – that is the commute via the city bus or my pickup – either way. It’s really is pure bliss, riding through the gorge, even if it was a bit icy and was getting pretty dark by the time I hit pavement last night. Still it’s wonderful to think I’ll be able to ride in both ways any time the weather is decent and there isn’t too much snow on the trail.
