Plans: Unless “The Blizzard of Oz” intervenes, class
NOTES: First thing this morning, at 03:30/3:30AM, I was shoveling off the back porch so I could bring Socks in from his overnight stay in the Haruc.
*Yup, classes are canceled for one more day. I can almost bet that WATC will want payback for these four days off because of snow; four days off being Thurs, Fri, Mon and Tues.
*On another kick this morning. I want to learn and apply the metric (SI) system and have downloaded several PDF files on the subject.
Ziu, husband to Zisa, Great God of bravery, one-handed god, you
chained the Fenris Wolf that threatened the worlds. We can’t do that, but we can do other things, some ordinary, others heroic. Remind us of your bravery and your sacrifice. Give us the courage and strength we need to fetter our own Fenris. Keep us mindful of our duties, and help us keep our fears bound as
tightly as you bound old Slaver Mouth. Thus doing, may we share in your glory by imitating you. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, ZIU, as we honor the Ziu that resides in us all!

Havamal 155.
An eleventh I know: if haply I lead
my old comrades out to war,
I sing 'neath the shields, and they fare forth mightily
safe into battle,
safe out of battle,
and safe return from the strife.
Interpretation: Any questions about growth (Berkana) will be met with victory (Sig)
Outcome: OMGs...Toby’s walk this morning was a simple 2-block roundy-roundy. Trudging through that deep snow was a bitch!
Oh shit, I almost forgot about the City Council primary voting! Off and running….or, today…sliding! I’m sure the guy I voted for won’t win this primary, but I had to support the liberal cause as much as possible. Whoever comes out on top and on to the general election will deserved my closer look.
Since there is no class I contacted the VA to get my chest x-ray and EKG done. Good chest x-ray, good EKG (Man); at least I know I’m in pretty good health (Berkana). MAN! I have never seen the VA so void of human traffic! It was so empty I got right in and out fairly quickly.
Napped
LOTS of frustrating conversation about gun rights on Facebook.
Uneventful evening…
I’ll check on the primaries tomorrow.
Nirdu, brother to Nirda, parents of the Wanâ; Ing-Fro and the Frouwa, beloved god of harbors and seas close to land; help us to remember the cargoes of wealth that float to
our doors daily from the wonderful Universe in which we live. Though our misfortunes may rise and fall like the tides, the chance of prosperity, like the eternal sea brimming with fish, is still there. Like the salt-sea spray, awaken us to the possibilities that surround us, so that our nets may be cast wide and return full of life’s gifts. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HAIL, NIRDU, as we honor the Nirdu that resides in us all!
