Right now, purely by accident, the program icons in the little boxes at the bottom of my screen for my open windows are lined up like this:

IE --> Word --> Excel --> WE --> Outlook --> Acrobat

It's like a little rainbow! I think I'm going to do this on purpose from now on.

When I wake up tomorrow, it should be 30 degrees warmer than it was this morning. Of course, that will make it a whopping 5 degrees tomorrow. That's going to feel like a heat wave

Why do people forget how to drive at this time of year? There's no snow on the road, not icy, no lack of visibility and people drive like 10 under. It's so frustrating.
