"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

Snow day

Snow days are not mundane occurrences here in AZ.

This excitement took place on Wednesday, February 20.  Right here at 11419 we experienced a short ice storm (top two photos).  POC was working, or something, over at Salt River Fields (D'backs spring training), where what looks like "real snow" fell (bottom two photos).
