This is what parts of Stockholm is looking like right now. At 3.45PM CET it's already dark

Lots of pretty lights, I'm still looking for a better view of Vancouver, and hopefully a moving picture.

Sometimes they show it live on TV and there are no cars at all.
I live within five minutes of one office, two from the other. On foot.

If you're going to get technical, I work from home now, and my bed is just 2 steps away.

And the weather in Plano is 1 degree C, looking at a high of 7-8 degree C and sunny. I can't keep track of whether the US is + GMT or - GMT (or my left or right for that matter). More aged dung will be served at noon, my time.

heh. well, since it's earlier there than in greenwich, that makes you GMC -X (what did you say ? 6 ?). i am GMT + 1 because it's one hour later here than there. i can't keep track of my left and right either though, if you come up with any helpful tips for that i'm interested.

It reminds me of the "congestion-buster" bridge they put in to bypass Noosa Junction (at the bottom of the hill I live on). The "peak hour traffic" they were alleviating apparently means "more than three cars waiting at one of the roundabouts").

Noosa's nice...and as a "local" once said to me, "We're all refugees here" (the Noosa demographic is 99% "sea-changers").

If you're going to get technical, I don't work, and I'm sitting on the lounge only a few steps from my bed but deciding whether to go for a swim in the pool, a soak in the spa, or dive into a nice, tall Zany Carter Deluxe (and thus, on the Cretaceous horns of a trilemma, I will probably select all three).
