So: Bay Area, yay!
Expecting major snow storm in PA: ✓
Rain predicted in CA: ✓
PS: Damm! It really IS raining. Phooey.
Apparently I am now a Stanford employee: CA tax forms still a pain: ✓
I need to start leasing out my services a a minor weather deity. Precipitation patterns are definitely non-random as I move.
In the meantime, I need to find out just exactly when Risa shows up in her office (nice building btw), and to hassle some students...
Then it is back to the snow I guess.

Hey! We own this state, as far as astro/physics blogging is concerned. Did you get permission?
You mean NoCal hasn't seceded yet? Or did they put the divide north of Marin county?
I'm fairly sure I did...
so many forms...
I think I sent it back in the internal mail with the patent agreement and the DoE safetay module 219 certification.
Anyway, the very original "Dynamics of Cats" web site was set up right here in the Bay Area, lo these many years ago. We always come back to our roots.
Hey Mr. Carroll, I loved your last book; what was it, Endless forms or something...

How many feet of snow in Aspen this week... and here it is raining.
Argh.
Steinn, mind if I bring my laptop over to your office in a few? I've got to leave some comments on your entry about the Scouts.
