Spitball Army

I’m rushing to get as much of my Monday and Tuesday work done via computer as I can, in anticipation of a possible long-term power outage caused by the coming ice and snow storm. All of a sudden, a message pops up on my screen via TweetDeck: it’s a tweet written by @bikeskirt, then re-tweeted by @BrianABarrett. It reads:

I love the term “wintry mix”; it sounds like a great mixed tape or cocktail. I’ll take one wintry mix, please.

Okay, then, Elisa. This is for you. Stay warm.
