twelve hours of nothingness

8:07 am -- look at my weather station. 51 degrees. decide to jump back into my toasty bed.
9:45 am -- fire up the computer, check the tracking on two cigar shipments I'm expecting. hopefully, mine didn't go up in flames in that fedex plane crash yesterday. how ironic would that be?
