Still winter, not so cold.

jennlkIt's actually gotten above freezing three days this week! And the sun's been out at least part of the time, so there's been a lot of melting. The cats are still not trusting it, though. Ji's been glaring at the snow on the deck, and Belle has been trotting over to the door and coming to a quick halt when she gets a face full of chilly breeze.
Letters to voters have been dropped at the PO. The county 'intermediate' school district (a county level administration) next to us is having a bond election, and we have about 350 voters who live in our jurisdiction and are in *that* school district. (School district borders do not always follow municipal borders.) As there are so few of them, state Bureau of Elections policy is that those voters will vote at the other polling place. So we have to let the voters know that.
Next week's LCCB rehearsal is in a different space because the room we've been using will be unavailable. The light will be better (it's the space we used to rehearse in), but it's somewhat unclear how much *room* we'll actually have even though the room is larger. The recent bond issue allowed them to purchase all new percussion/large brass, and there's lots of boxes/large items in the room. And the building is under renovation (why we're not there this year), so access will be much less straightforward than usual.
Capricon last weekend was good. The new space is a new space, and there's some idiosyncrasies that need to be worked around. The hotel restaurant is pretty good, and convenient. GT was actually *not* the last party open on Friday night when KN closed the room at 1am. I think it was the last party open on Saturday, but we closed the room at 4am. I did not make it to any program items (as usual).
