Snow, sleet and pink gloves

As I drove myself into work today I witnessed an event that rarely occurs in my home city; rain, sleet and snow all coming down simultaneously. In addition, my umbrella was safely tucked away in my office, far across the parking lot from where I exited my car.

In other news, me and eight other science-types made comments about a friends Facebook status relating her recent and exciting acquisition of pink latex gloves. One of the final comments, summed the whole exchange up quite nicely. It read, "It's kinda sad what scientists get excited about."

I found this funny and true.
