It was a cold day in... my livingroom

Last night after I got home from wings night I notice that my place was rather cold... so I did something I have not done since May... I turned off my air-conditioners.

No, they were not actively cooling that entire time, their internal thermostats kept them from turning my place into an arctic tundra (which wouldn’t have been a completely bad thing), however it was a sad time because it was the first time either had been off deliberately in all of that time.

Boy am I glad I don’t pay utilities for my apartment!

Now comes the tricky part... trying to keep my buddy Dosch (yes, the same Dosch from asking for his large window unit back (the place he lives has central air) which was the reason that my entire apartment was livable this summer, rather than just my bedroom.

Strange Lights

This morning while driving to work I saw a pair of flashing yellow lights at a mile or two ahead and tried to remember the rules of the road for that while puzzling after what the vehicle might be... probably need to slow down in either case.

Not long later, the strange lights changed... from flashing yellow, to flashing red and blue. "Sure looks like a cop" I thought, "definitely need to slow down" (no I wasn't speeding).

A few seconds later... the blue and white lights disappeared, and were replaced by a slowly (and quite small) flashing white light.

After closing the distance on this object... what did I find? A school bus.

It amazes me that they are able to have lights that look so much like an emergency vehicle from a short distance away, but then, I have never seen blue lights on a school bus before.
