The Heat is on!
Man, it has been really cold the last few days! Regardless of winter having already officially started in China about a month ago, the first we've really felt it was this saturday. 8 below zero celsius- but it's not the tempurature that kills you- it's the frigid wind off the Mongolian plains. I think the windchill factor must be around a brazilian below zero (though I remember a Fox News expose in 2000 or 2001 claiming windchill is a myth, but what do they know anyways?).
Here's a picture of the smokestack coming out of our public heat utility- that billow of innocent-looking white smoke is a constand reminder to me on my way home that my apartment will be filled with oil-fueled forced-hot-water heat whether I like it or not. But I like it, I like it!

yo matt--its nick--from boston--like your web page-- peace
Hey Nick! Glad to see you on my blog, how's Boston life right now? Probably at least as cold as it is here right now, but at least you can breathe the air without worrying... If you ever end up studying in Japan, I'll have to come visit you- it's always nice to have someone to show you the lay of the land. How much Japanese do you still remember? Drop me an email at sbcdove@yahoo.com.
Matt
