While at work Friday, I remembered that I need some sort of "all season" tires for snow driving, and I had no idea if my car (with all its mighty AWDness) had snow tires. So I hopped over to the Subaru website, and saw that the Outback Wagon's tires were labeled "225/60R16 97H M+S," while my Legacy Wagon's tires were just "205/55R16 89H."
A lot of stressful and confusing tire research ensued, but when I left work and looked at my tires, I saw that they were, in fact, labeled M+S. Whew, money spending averted! Which is good, because there are other car accessories I already need to buy.

Oh baby, it's snowing at Kirkwood. Actually, it sounds like a pretty nasty storm, and I'm kind of glad I'm not there...
But oh, snowboarding is so close. I can't wait. I'd love to be able to go the weekend before Thanksgiving if conditions look good, but I may have to wait until December 7th/8th before I get to go. At least at that point I'll be done with classes and just have two finals left in my undergraduate career.
Heh, one of my thoughtful co-workers just sent me this email:
"it's important to me that, with the beginning of the winter season, i ask you one thing: if you die snowboarding in an avalanche, can i have your new powerbook?"
update, 11/10: Bah, apparently Kirkwood doesn't archive their news, because now that link above is dead. But that's okay, because there's a new update today: Kirkwood's opening on Saturday the 16th! As in, a week from Yesterday. I don't know if I'll get to go, but it's more contingent on me finding a ride than even my workload (despite having my last midterm on the 18th).
