on the way home after work i stopped at a holiday gas station, i got the paper and a chicken stick. also saw a security guard there, which is not typical. i hadn't stopped there much before, at least the inside part. usually i just get gas and then resume the commute to work. but i knew i still wanted the paper despite a winter storm warning in effect so it made sense to get it there when it was on my normal path. the cashier told somebody in front of me in line not to be too choosy as they expected to get busy, i think they wanted lottery tickets. i made it home to watch one 'big bang theory' rerun, where howard said 'i choose you' to bernadette and then was grounded by his mom. amy consoles penny, her 'bestie', when she meets priya, who is dating leonard. not a big deal to stay in tonight, as i didn't have anywhere to go. as usual, the news was telling us how bad it was out there with the winter weather. there was mention of I-35 near faribault being closed for a while due to pileup when a semi was blocking the road. i stayed until i was caught up with the overnight packages. there was 11 near the end of the day on business lines i hadn't seen before or rarely saw before. i got an instant message saying they wanted them overnighted and the tracking numbers, four of which were going to canada. the requestor said 'you are a doll' but of course it remains to be seen if it leads to any other recognition of going 'above and beyond'. when i was leaving work i already saw a snowplow working on the parking lot, as most cars had left by then. i still have some things to do this weekend, and i understand the storm warning expires early saturday morning so it should be no problem getting it all done.
