pink in the store

Went to the pharmacy today to get some soap and saw the shelves lined with pink things. More than a month until Valentine's Day and already the shelves are overloaded with romance.

turning water into steam

Having been reminded of the super cool science experiment where boiling water is tossed into super cold air, and having super cold air courtesy of Mother Nature who was giving up double digits in the negative category, I went ahead and performed this super awesome bit of science showmanship. It was pretty fantastic. The hot water, when thrown up into the air, became instantly crystallized and vaporized, and I watched the puff of whiteness blow away on the wind.

This long, bitter cold spell has been terrible, but it does present a tiny moment or two of amazement.
