High today, here: -6. Dewpoint then: -11. High dewpoint: -11.
High today in TO: -4. Dewpoint then: -15. High dewpoint: -13.
Low today on the balcony: -12.1. High: -5.8. Currently: -5.8.
I'm not sure what to make of the fact that the current temperature is often the same as the daily high or low. It does show that daytime heating really doesn't have much effect on winter temperature trends. Also: we've missed the great big bloody storm here. Poo. I watched it with longing as it formed over Texas a couple of days ago, knowing all too well that the jet stream would swing it too far east.
Finished that Penner article (apart from the many notes); it's a pretty good read, despite the fact that I disagree with him just about all the way through. (He takes the "hedonistic" argument of the Protagoras seriously, for another thing. That's another of those things that I've got to get around to one of these days, reading the Protagoras again, working it into the great Platonic Irony project ... after I get around to reading all those dialogues I haven't yet read once, and maybe after I've re-read Merleau-Ponty and Foucault and Nietzsche, and maybe after I've read Husserl and Kant and the rest of Aristotle....) Figured I might best have a look at that Sachs article too, so I did. (I'm also trying to use up a defective print cartridge.) Penner's assault seemed a little overblown, having done so.
CuJo got bombed again tonight. This is, I'm afraid, the end. But maybe he'll do ... something over the break to fix himself.
