Short takes

For T-pass wielders: do you sign the back of your pass?
(The informal poll of two orkers in the elevator was 50% each way.)
ETA: A quick scan of the T website yielded no information about signing passes.
Not that it's relevant or anything, but the February passes are navy and gold.
mini food review
I tried Emerald brand Butter Toffee Glazed Walnuts, and they're rather nice, little pieces that have some salt and some bitter (from the nuts) to balance the sweet, and the toffee part is small enough that it isn't making a land grab for my fillings. The odd part is that having more than a couple of bits makes my tongue start to numb, rather in the way biting a clove does. Which is disturbing enough that I'm unlikely to buy these.
Monday
Most of the highlights: lazing around the house, making beef soup and flavored flatbreads, gaming, looking at snow and frost patterns, and finishing the first roll of film, also extracting it from the camera (non-trivial). What I did not do: laundry, shovel out the car (with the attendant cheese-retrieval), go to the gym, unpack my suitcase. Perhaps today...
weather
This year the local high school is using a different brand of ice melt, which turns the snow turquoise. It's a bit disturbing.
I'm enjoying walking around (other than the turquoise), the paths feeling rather like picking my way through almost-tunnels. More of an adventure to get to my destination, winding around drifts higher than my head, the cleared paths sometimes barely wide enough for me, sometimes spacious, two snowblower-widths wide.
The snow on my porch is melting already; the top pane of the French doors is almost completely clear.
