So, we have an Autogeist.

(This is where local folks can recommend good car electronics repair shops. I don't want to go to a regular mechanic.)

Anyhow, went out last night. It was good to see folks, but going out leaves me quite drained. I'm exhausted, achier than usual, and my head is killing me. Just attending the Dawning leaves me hungover without the benefit of getting me drunk first. I need to move to a city or state where indoor smoking isn't allowed. Unfortunately, those places typically have (a) bad weather; (b) bad traffic; (c) bad air quality; (d) bad locations (anything west of the Mississippi is a bad location, as it's substantially closer to the Ring of Fire than anything *east* of the Mississippi).

Anyhow, I slept for about nine hours and I'd love to crawl back in for another nine, but that would bugger up my schedule for the week.

Today, I think my goals for today involve leaving the house. I might just walk one block, but I need to do at least that much. If espresso were to miraculously appear in that block, I'd praise the hamsters above. Maybe I'll call xiane. I need to chat with her to confirm a few things about this week. I can also offer her a ride to WNRN tonight.

Enh, earthquakes. We're all going to die of something and perhaps I'd rather have no warning than the warning I get from hurricanes. To each her own. :)

I will point out that it was lovely to take lcohen out to a restaurant/bar without having to think at all about whether it would be smoky. :)

Does the part of California you're in get snow? If not, the weather is not suitable for me. ;)

Traffic and pollution (air and light) are also factors. Smoke-free restaurants aren't much good if I have smog season and forest-fire season to worry about.

This part does not--I consider that a bonus. Parts of California do get snow, and Tim has some very pretty pictures of it from last weekend. Those parts are also those less likely to have traffic/smog problems and they're a hell of a lot cheaper than it is here. :)

Here, wombatwombatwombat... ;)

Yes, but there's still the whole close-to-the-Ring-of-Fire thing. ;)

(I don't really fear earthquakes and volcanoes. I just prefer tornadoes. And central Virginia sucks because (a) the summers are too hot and humid; (b) the winters aren't wintry; (c) it gets remnants of hurricanes, but very few truly spectacular storms. explodingcat has this thing against living in the Bible Belt, else I'd have moved us to the sweet, sweet WASP-haven of Indiana years ago. Someday, he'll realize we're well south of the Mason-Dixon line, but so long as he's in C'ville, he can easily overlook it.)

Speaking of weather, C'ville hasn't seen more than a few hours of sunlight in over a week. Please give us back our lovely October weather.
