What can you learn from the parking lot? If you work for the park service in January quite a lot actually. For instance, yesterday when a fellow coworker came in she knew that it was so cold that I had borrowed the neighbors car to get to work. Which was true as my neighbor is gone until the second weekend in Feb. and I have access to her car until then. Yesterday the work thermometer showed -47 so I did not feel like walking.
She also knew that another coworker was afraid her hybrid car would not start at the end of the day as she backed into her parking spot. She knew that a lot of people had decided to wait to see if it warmed up before coming into work as very few cars were in the lot. Also true. She predicted that one workers truck did not start as the wives car was in the lot. True. And finally she new that our coworker who normally rides bike to work actually drove as his hardly ever seen car was in the lot. Funny what you learn by driving into a parking lot.
It was so cold yesterday that when we heard that it was only -3 in Anchorage we were all thinking about flying there for the weekend to warm up. How sad is that.
