The movement of large objects along with the destruction of various walls within my work area have combined to create an interesting* environment. Although fraught with strife in that the noise and the dust and the foul attitude of the indolent workers are more prevalent than perhaps what we would like, we have been promised that it will soon end. For myself and having had some small experience in such things in past, I'll believe it when I see it.

* Interesting can have many meanings.

In other news, the weather gets colder, generally speaking. Of course, this isn't surprising as the weather tends to do that in late November. And, truth be told, the temperatures are fairly hospitable, all things considered. It could be much worse. The mid-teens at night and the low thirties during the day are, although not to the liking of some of my friends, still relatively civilized in the grand scheme of things. Still, when compared to Anchorage, Alaska, we're a bit chill. At present, we're 14 degrees cooler here than Anchorage and yesterday were 17 degrees cooler than their high temp. Thus, it could look a little bleak, depending on your point of view. Ah, but don't forget Antarctica. Their current temperature is -34 degrees Fahrenheit with a brisk wind chill of -78. So, if you think it's cold, just remember all those poor silly scientists freezing their tail-feathers off in the "tropical" south.

To what is this coming, then? Simple: Before you complain, always remember, it could be worse.
