Friday Varia and Quick Hits

Winter has [finally?] come to the North Dakotaland and it allowed me to make my annual “First Snow” past yesterday afternoon. It looks like we got slightly more than a dusting this morning with a little blanket of snow. It’s crisp this morning with a high in the upper 20s and a brisk breeze.

It makes a good day to stay inside and catch up on some quick hits and varia.
