Mead: honey, yum

R. and I sampled some "Ragnar's dry mead" tonight. It was good. It smells and tastes and looks like honey, but it's less viscous: it pours like wine. I liked it.


This post's theme word: xanthodontous, "having yellow teeth." Like the Vikings, probably.

Wintry driving

I drove to Toronto today through heavy snowfall and mostly uncleared roads (except for some parts of major highways). It took about 9 hours, which makes it the second-longest this trip has taken me. It was stressful and unpleasant. My iPod ran out of batteries and I had to listen to insipid radio.

This is what I could see after sunset (photo from the border-crossing waiting line):I made it fine, and probably earned a bunch of experience points.


This post's theme word: brindled, "streaked." My windshield was brindled by snow kicked up by the SUVs crazily overtaking my car.
