Weather: RAIN! On top of lotsa snow -- get home early and STAY there before the roads freeze tonight.
BTW --- the snowpack is still below average -- so sayeth the Weather Bureau. Rain isn't going to help, unless it stays snowy in the upper altitudes.

Wildlife: The deer scrounge day and night. The two eagles frequent the open water, but I haven't seen them catch anything yet.

At the College: Power Point use is more and more frequent. We are hustling data projectors around on wheeled carts, and also installing them in classrooms. Many visitors are bringing their own, and one of these broke down last night -- luckily we had a spare! Data projectors are also fairly good for showing movies on larger screens -- just run a video output from the in-class VCR/DVD player into the projector, select Video One, and ya' gotta show! Prof. Gerda Reeb showed Himalaya last night for the Intercultural Club (Global Friends) by using this method.
Here's some info about the flick:

Media Watch: FVCC Current Events didn't show on Cable Channel Nine today -- maybe tomorrow. Carolyn G. Heilbrun's collection of essays: HAMLET'S MOTHER AND OTHER WOMEN is really fine. Thanks Prof. Kabler!
I snoozed during NPR news, and saw a little of political comedian Bill Maher on Larry King (ruefully laughing a bit) before I started reading. One story Heilbrun alluded to was Sylvia Beach's publishing of James Joyce's Ulysses.

How about hearing the voice of Virgina Woolf? One essay by Heilbrun compared her works with those of James Joyce.
