First snow...

Efthimiou takes out the calculator to prove that if a vampire sucked one person's blood each month -- turning each victim into an equally hungry vampire -- after a couple of years there would be no people left, just vampires. He started his calculations with just one vampire and 537 million humans on January 1, 1600 and shows that the human population would be down to zero by July 1602.

I never really liked Halloween... come to think of it, I don't really like holidays in general. There is probably a deeper underlying issue there to be discussed, but for now, we will let it lie. I never really liked Halloween. I would go out and score a huge bag full of candy, of that, I was never disappointed. But, then I would hoard the candy. I would never eat it all because I was too afraid that the candy would run out and I would have to wait until next year to get more of the orange and black candies.

Ah whatever. If you want a scary book to read... check out Dracula by Bram Stoker. It is the original, and its pretty scary... You can read a version online for free courtesy of Google here.

It snowed tonight. There is already about a 1/4" on the ground in some spots, and cold cars are coated. Last night it was sort of hailing/sleeting... I am really not up on my cold weather verbage coming from Southern Arizona. All I know is that last night wasn't real snow flakes, they were more ball shaped, but tonight, it was full blown flakes. Heaven help me.
