Still snow on the ground, I assume for you guys. Oh, he's not going anywhere. I think this is it. It's a permafrost. This is it. This is it. I have a glacier in my backyard. Yeah. We do too, which is super weird. This is the longest we've had snow on the ground probably in my lifetime. I mean, as long as I can remember, you know, and it hasn't moved. Yesterday, it started thawing just a little bit, enough to where when you walk on it, it would break the ice that's in the middle of it, would break underneath you, you know, and you fall an inch. And so I think in the next couple days, we'll probably start to see it change a little bit, but so far, it's been unchanged for like a

0:39.6

good news is, look, look how well my face is lit right now. And that is because snow is a great

0:45.0

the office. Yeah, but in my bedroom when, you know, I'm trying to go to sleep and I have my blackout

1:25.4

it's very hazy at night, which, or maybe that haze is always there and it's just catching the moonlight.

1:25.8

But not only is the ground reflective, but it seems like the sky is reflective too lately. And so, you know, we have this puppy

1:33.8

and I've been taking the puppy out a lot, you know, in the evenings and stuff trying to have not

1:39.1

have an accident. And so, yeah, I've been out a lot at night looking at the backyard and looking at

1:43.8

the snow and the moon and all of it.

1:46.4

It is pretty for sure, but I am kind of ready for it to start melting.

1:51.4

Mm.

1:52.7

Yeah.

1:53.8

Mm.

1:54.8

Definitely.

1:55.9
