The cold has broken (leaving behind a still chilly but livable low-30s) and dropped a couple inches of thick, wet flakes on its way out. Above freezing highs the next week or so are hinting at an end to a peaky Winter some time on the horizon. We’re all looking your way now, groundhog.
Inputs
1: An interesting digression on the odd history of serendipitous discovery of sweeteners among chemists at LessWrong. One of the first things one learns in Intro to Chemistry is the rhyme about sulfuric acid1Johnny was a chemist, Johnny is no more, for what he thought was H2O was H2SO4 and not to ingest things in the lab2I mean, I think they usually mean a sandwich or whatever, but certainly don’t eat the experiments!. How so many professional chemists not only end up with their experiments on their bare skin, but go on to lick it, is beyond me.
2: I’ve always wondered about this happening on a delayed penalty, but it couldn’t have happened to a better guy. Best goal of Malkin’s career.
3: Tonight! Katie Nolan goes for the Celebrity Jeopardy crown, which will air after this posts, but which I will most definitely be watching. 8/7c on ABC3Check your local listings, as they say.
