Perhaps you had a reversal some other month to make up for it.

It's been fixed up to make you stand out. From the Chronicle:
"It has a more upmarket feel and the new drinks menu offers customers something different.”

I did that, again, this week. I should have hook points, like a racing car.

It was -30 again this morning, went out and plugged the van in at 3:30. I have to fly to BC tomorrow so I'm deciding what clothes to take for a week of +3 daytime and -3 night temps for a change.

Lots of freezing rain last night. Steps salted so they're safe enough and the newspaper was delivered to the mailbox at the side of the door, whereas on an icy day last week the woman understandably tossed it (bagged) onto the drive, so that was okay too.

However the road's slippery (though more walkable than the sidewalk) and I just watched SD walk down it to go to the bus stop.

The road is plenty wide enough for cars in both directions and her, but whenever a car came up the street, those going in her direction still slowed and waited for the other car to pass before they passed her.
