I think I brought back something from Mordor

[diekahvi]

The world outside my window is coverd in snow. Seems I was too fast with replacing my winter default icon with a spring one on saturday. I should have known better. On friday I drove to friends for an afternoon of MERP gaming and the weather kept changing between hail, snow and rain. Which led to funny moments while gaming. Our group was searching the mountains between Ithilien and Mordor ... in winter. And the GM from time to time described landscape and weather and said "It's starts to snow." And we would look out of the window and comment" Yes, it does." or "No, it's raining now." :-)
But still I was surprised today to be woken by sashatwen saying that it was white outside. It was snowing big fluffy flakes while we had a long breakfast. But by lunchtime it had already started to melt away. And on my drive home I came through places completly free of snow. During the afternoon it started to snow again and now everything is covered by a thick layer of snow. I wonder how long it will stay.

Now to something completly different. Some days ago I was musing about that old poster saying "All I need to know about live I learned from Star Trek". Remember that one? And I tried to put up some lists about other series/films. Feel free to add things, some lists are a bit short. And I bet I forgott some things that should be on a list like this.
All I need to know about live ...

1. Running is always the first option - preferably through endless corridors


2. Every device can be a bit more sonic - even a screwdriver


3. So many species, so little time


4. Every planet has a north
