I had a colleague teach an entire class with his fly open.  He was known as Zippy until that cohort of students had graduated

I will raise this. I graded for a distinguished professor in grad school. He taught EVERY class with his fly open (also while smoking a cigar). In the middle of EVERY class he would mumble an apology, and go out of the classroom for a brief time. Never once did he zip up.

First ferry was quite late, which meamt I missed the last ferry home so now I'm sleeping in the car sans hatchling (for the first time). Ugh.

So, you usually sleep in the car with the hatchling?

How does that work??

Hehe. Uncomfortably?

No doubt that would not have been fun! Did you have to sleep overnight in the car? Yuck.  My ex and BIL and I had to sleep in cars overnight at the shore once when we came home from the casino to the rented beach house to find it totally locked up and none of the ~15 other people in the house could be awakened.  Definitely not a fun time.

I did, but it wasn't so bad. We keep blankets and sleeping bags in there just in case, and there's just enough room in the back (it's an old CR-V) to almost be comfortable.
I know it's a genus.

Well, I'm glad you had preparations in place and that it wasn't too bad, but still.  I'm sure you're not looking forward to a repeat anytime soon! ;-)

It snowed.

I hate, hate, hate snow.

Please don't tell me "it's pretty."
Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.

It's pretty if you don't have to drive or shovel.

Not "pretty."

Not "pretty" under any circumstance!

Dead white water all over everything like an infection, a rash on the planet.

God's dandruff.

Not. 
Pretty.
No.
Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

I love how snow makes tangible the hated humidity disappearing from the air.

My preferred EV charging station wasn't available.
It's difficult to conclude what people really think when they reason from misinformation.

Both of my socks had huge (3 cm) holes in the heels and they both got bigger throughout the day.
