"So, I had this idea. I'm not really sure how this is going to work out, but I thought I'd give it a try.
Next week, Carol and I are going to be in Las Vegas all week. Carol is working at a trade show - I'm just going along for the ride (and hopefully some enjoyment), but since we're going to be out there it may be very difficult to for me to try to Blog. I'm not sure if the hotel we're staying at is going to have any good Internet connectivity, and dial-up could be a bear.
So I thought maybe I could just find a way to record what was happening and I thought of these little digital voice recorders that happen to have USB interfaces on them, where you can download the individual records in them as WAV files and maybe post them to the Blog and see what people think.
So I thought about that and I thought I'd give it a try next week. Hopefully it'll work out. It could be entertaining - it may not be. But I thought it would add a little more "spice" to a blog entry by being able to hear what was going on.
I normally would use Audblog, but that means I have to use a cellphone and I have to have a good cellphone signal to be able to do it and that could be problematic.
So, look to the blog next week and see if there's any audio entries and see if this actually does work... AND OH BY THE WAY...
I'm talking about this on the way home from work from work today. Yeah, I'm on my way home, the roads are dry, there's not a cloud in the sky - the sun set already though, and I am HAPPY AS ALL GETOUT because I'm just passing my Mobil station and the price of Premium Gasoline - which I use in my car - FINALLY dropped below two dollars and it's at $1.97 and that makes me happy.
So anyway, check the blog next week and see if this works out. "

So, I just got to work.
My driveway has not been plowed yet, but I didn't have any significant problems getting out. My 4.8 mile commute took 35 minutes and I saw 2 spinouts on the way. Traffic moved at a snail's pace, but no one was being an idiot.
The parking lot at the office sucks - I'm not sure they really plowed. We're in the middle of another band of snow that can give us up to another 2 inches. I think we're in the 6"-8" range right now. The sun's supposed to come out later and it's going to be in the high 20's.
Looks really cool out there, though!
