Rain, Supply Runs
Raining all day, this morning, afternoon, and tonight in the district, it seems like this time of year we’re stuck right in the middle in between winter and spring, and its really hard to tell whether its going to snow or rain. Its really too warm for ice, but cold enough to make you shiver on your way home late at night. Either way its soggy and humid, be sure to pack an umbrella and watch your step. In the meantime the sakura are blooming all around with a reminder that spring is just around the corner, and then theres the heat of summer to look forward to.
Had a very restful and reflective weekend at home, and milling about the city. rented the zipcar and ran some errands, went grocery shopping and as noteworthy as it is, I bought up some non-perishables as I have been meaning for a while as far as my ad-hoc emergency/disaster preparedness supply project. Not like I’m really expecting a need for all of this, but maybe its the boy scout in me thinking that it wouldn’t hurt to make as much of an effort to just be prepared for the unknown. This weekend I found some stackable 3 liter bottles of water to go with my MREs and freeze dried food supply, canned corned beef, tuna, and canned veggies. Hoping that I’ll never have a need for any of this, but like I said, it doesn’t hurt to be somewhat prepared in advance.
In other news, Badgers get upset by the cinderella and crowd favorite of the tournament, Davidson behind a hot shooting Curry. I watched most of the sweet 16 game and was very impressed with the intensity that Davidson brought to the court. Pretty bummed that they weren’t able to keep it going against Kansas after beating Wisconsin pretty handily. Now we’re left with a first time ever 4 top seeded final four. Blah, boring. I guess theres always next year to look forward.
