Lessons Learned

Today I learned or was reminded of the following lessons... some are good, some are bad:

1. Fresh-fallen snow is beautiful.
2. Falling snow makes the world quieter.
3. Buses run late when it is snowing.
4. Walking for thirty minutes in the snow causes one's face to freeze if not properly covered.
5. Walking for thirty minutes in the snow causes one's legs to freeze if not properly covered (more than normally covered).
6. Walking like one would ice skate causes friction in one's shoes resulting in a happy warmth.
7. A stainless steel Starbuck's travel mug will protect coffee from freezing temperatures for longer than thirty minutes.
