The cruel whims of weather on the prairies

the highway today Sadly, we won't be making it to drakkenfyre's Halloween-and-birthday party tonight. Not when the highways look like this.

I should have suspected that the weather was changing with the fierce winds we've been having. It made for the perfect atmosphere, though--last night we went on a graveyard walking tour by flashlight, put on by the Galt Museum. It was more historic stories than spooky stuff. I was afraid we wouldn't be able to hear the guide over the wind, but it turns out he's a middle school teacher by day, so his voice carried just fine. He clearly knew his stuff as far as the details go, but could have used a bit of work polishing his storytelling techniques. Still, it was a fun way to spend a Saturday night coming up on Halloween.

And the snow is still blowing and blowing out there. Ugh. The good news--neither one of us has to be anywhere before Tuesday afternoon, and if it doesn't warm up a bit by then (which I think it's supposed to) we're both close enough to walk to work.

It's the first time in about four or five years that we haven't had some sort of Halloween paty. But I will be working Halloween night, and I will be in costume! Pirate this year, I think...

I guess whatever's the cheapest for getting them here by, say, Wednesday or Thursday. Yeah, if I got home on Thursday and they'd been delivered, that'd be fine.

Gah, they're blerkin' heavy books, too. Well, forget the Dictionary Of Critical Theory--just send me the anthology and Literacy For A Diverse World.

After that, whatever it costs, it costs. I need it bad, man, I can't be choosy how I get it. (Dirty enough for you?)
