Incredible Sight
I intend to put up some photos of my surroundings, but until then you'll have to visualize the amazing vistas. This morning was the first time I road my bike to school. On the horizon is Mt. Bachelor, one of Oregon's premier skiing/snowboarding mountains. I left around 6:30am, so the sun had yet to rise, and I could see the glow of the Cat's lights as the machine worked its way uphill, rumbling across the mountain, grooming the snow for another day of fun.

*Roland Burris, the guy embattled Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich appointed to fill Obama's senate seat, was refused admittance into the senate today. On a funny note, he was supposed to attend meeting on Blagojevich's impeachment probe at the same time he is in DC, when asked how he would deal with that he said, "I'm the magic man." Give that man a seat!
*My head hurts.
*For about an hour today it snowed harder in La Grande than I can ever recall... just sayin'.
*A list of the Top 10 bills to be dropped (introduced) in the Senate and their summaries. It doesn't mean they will be passed in their current form, or that they will be passed at all, but for policy wonks it's a way to get an idea of what to expect in the first few months of Obama's presidency. Here's a quick review of what is there and what is missing.

Brrrrrrrr
Yesterday we woke up to snow.
Yes, you read right: We woke up to snow.
For only the second time since the National Weather Service has been measuring snowfall, La Grande received measurable amounts of snow. It snowed in the morning and as the precipitation in the valley turned to rain during the day, it continued to snow in the mountains. In fact, where Serena and I went to see the Oregon Trail ruts only two days ago, eight full inches fell.
That's enough for a respectable snowman.
Below is a photo of Mt. Emily, the mountain that stands guard north of La Grande. You can see the green pastures in the foreground and the slopes in the background. Though chilly for this time of year, the snow certainly gives the mountain a beautiful coat.
