I’ve neglected you guys, and I’m sorry. Everybody needs their online distractions at regular intervals, right? In semi-valuable news, we got some of this in Virginia yesterday: It’s pretty, almost just like that picture. Add a bit of grime and some melting, and that’s it exactly. Even with the grime and the melting, snow makes…
