Bleh

Pictures from this past weekend will be posted later. I've got a fair amount of work to get through first.

But real quick, in response to one of my commenters let's dispel a medical myth.

There is absolutely no relation between temperature change and your susceptibility to viruses or bacteria. You can run around outside naked in -20 degree weather and you won't get sick. You'll feel physically cold, but not sick.

Colds may be more prevelant in winter, but this isn't because it's cold and windy outside. It's because you spend more of your time indoors, in heated rooms, with your windows shut (preventing circulation of fresh air) and this is an environment that microbes love.

Read this, this, this, this, and this.
