Yesterday was cold, but at -24°C, today is even colder. Yesterday, however, it was apparently cold enough to burst several pipes at the local university campus, flooding the two buildings I frequented most during my four years there. One pipe burst on the 3rd floor of the Old Main, causing water to flood down a stairwell, flooding a computer lab. I didn't even know the OM had a 3rd floor!!!
Last night as I lay in bed, I listened to our brand new house crack and bang. We noticed one of our neighbours' siding had separated from itself - had that always been this way, or was it because of the weather? I wonder if that's what I was hearing our house do. Who knows what these houses will do during their first winter?

About Me
- Anacredenza
- Anacredenza is a screen name I made up back when I first joined a debate forum. At that time, I was just about finished figuring out what my beliefs are, and the name, which means 'renewed belief' reflects that. I cannot claim to know everything (not even remotely close!), but I'm now comfortable with what I believe, which I discovered were my deep, though covered-up, thoughts all along, and have therefore been renewed. I may be right, or I may be wrong, but at least now I'm being true to myself. After figuring this out, I went back and talked with people who hold beliefs that I used to share, to test my new (and old) thoughts on the matter. After several years of that, I am much more comfortable with what I believe. I don't care very much about what other people believe any more, as long as they don't use their beliefs to justify harming other people. That said, I care a great deal about how people come to their conclusions - thorough, critical thinking skills are important, and if more people just knew how to think, the whole world could be a much less hostile place.
