So we have another snow-day today. My office has been closed for a week now. While the weather was really bad on Friday and yesterday, the rest of the snow-days have been ordered due the lack of clear roads and public transport. Not sure what to say, but given that this is the capital of the number one military superpower of the world, of a country that is leading two wars, and of a country that puts people on the moon, I can’t say that I am impressed, or even understand this. But good internet communications makes it at least possible to work, even when stuck at home. And best of all, it is Casual Friday and Illy coffee during breaks all week!

The weather has been the main focus these past days here, with the Weather Channel on in bars instead of the usual sports events
