We left, waving goodbye to Mary and the cats, at 8:15, in the teeth of a mixed snow-and-rain storm. The wind blowed and the snow snowed basically the whole way down, with a brief respite as we swung 'round Boston. Kinzel drove the worst of it and kept us on the road and moving. We are now safely arrived at the Albany train station, albeit slightly early, and hey! *I'm posting to LJ via Sabu and the station's wifi*! How cool is that?

More later.

The rain, he says, was over by the time we started; the only thing coming out of the sky was snow and ice... and wind, sometimes enough wind to satisfy the "blizzard conditions" line on the "are we having fun yet" chart.

We had a chance to observe a wonderful transformation of the sky from near-white-out to ultra blue... with blowing snow obscuring the sunlit sky from time to time as we moved from Western Mass. into Eastern NY...

Were you driving Argent? How did s/he (?) handle it?

Argent did a heck of a job; in some section of the trip we saw multiple cars off the road within a few hundred yardsofr each other... but Argent felt stable even when some of the 4wd jeeps were squirreling around on the road nearby.

w00t!

Hi guy,

Rolanni says "Can do!" from off-screen. Didja get snow down your way?

Thanks!

As for snow, little more than a dusting. Which is good, as I had friends and Klingon speakers show up this morning to move the KLI from the 3rd floor of my old apartment into the basement of my new house. Much schlepping was accomplished, and the merry band of movers were then treated to pizza and assorted beverages.

Sabu is a Dana Alphasmart? Way Cool! I just got one for Christmas and am still learning to use it. But I love it already. I can curl up on the library couch or my futon and continue to work in sybaritic comfort. (I live near Boston and the house is COLD!) I'm glad to hear that your travels are progressing safely. That storm yesterday had me worried for you. ---kimurho
