Tell me where all past years are

High today, here: -6. Dewpoint then: -9. High dewpoint: -9.
High today in TO: -4. Dewpoint then: -8. High dewpoint: -7.
Low today on the balcony: -12. High: -4.3. Currently: -11.6.
Indoor RH is down to 20%. It dropped into the 20s with the last cold snap, and didn't recover with the outdoor temperature--I guess once the moisture gets sucked out of a building, it takes a while to build back up. I wonder how low it'll get before spring.
Today seems to have largely disappeared down a hole, partly due to a fire alarm in the library, which did lead to my obtaining three free books, not due to library looting, but because I wandered to a place where I wouldn't otherwise have been, where there were boxes of free books lying on the floor, because they're blowing up the WLU arts building and all the faculty are jettisoning ballast. (They have, incidentally, replaced the valve to the urinal tank on the R&C floor. The urinals flush something like every three minutes now. Which is still, I think, a little bit horrifying, though not so obviously terrible.) I picked up a book by John O'Neill, a book by Reginald Bibby, and a book about Lubavitchers in Montreal. An Interesting Fact from the book by Reginald Bibby: the proportion of people who endorse each of a range of virtues--friendliness, honesty, generosity, etc.--declines, uniformly, with frequency of church attendance, until you get to people who never attend church, less of whom endorse the range of values than people who go to church regularly, but more of whom endorse the range of values than people who go to church rarely. People who go to church rarely are the worst people.
I also spent another $11 on printing and mailing a job application, which is actually on the low end of what I've spent to print and mail job applications, but which leads me to wonder how long it would take me to spend, say, my potential first year's salary on job applications. (Well, a long time, actually. But still.)
