"On Montlake we saw some fire trucks go by, and I wondered about the word "ambulance", what it had to do with walking. It's from French, where it turns out it was originally "hôpital ambulant", a moving hospital, attached to an army; and the "ambulance wagon" was a wagon appertaining to the ambulance."
Nice!
So far the main positive about the weather for me is that I just made breakfast with some lox I'd accidentally left out in my really-cold kitchen. We'll see if that was that good of an idea soon, but, it was cool to the touch and it's smoked in the first place.
