This picture of rime on a rope was taken before the recent rain event. Tonight we watched some early episodes of "Meet the Gimp" and I had to start playing.

In other news, we had a pleasant few days with my family in California, happy (and surprised) to make it out of the ice storm and now we're back to normal temperatures - but still with ice on the roads. Highlights of the trip: chopping veggies for my sister-in-law who cooked up a storm, walking along the arroyo, and lunch at a golf course with my parents. We also showed mom how to get to Google translate.
