Halifax weather hell

Halifax, 2003.12.15

This morning—when I had appointments to see some four apartments—all Hell broke loose with the weather.

I found myself driving around in some of the worst conditions I have ever seen. Sleet, snow, freezing rain, rain, flooding, rear-wheel-drive cars skidding all over the place....

When the day was done I'd seen six places. Most of the 1-bedroom places I'd wanted to see - even the ones I'd arranged to see by appointment - were gone. They go pretty quickly, apparently, because of all of the University students.

In any event, I've applied for a place and hope to hear from them tomorrow.

In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnation without government permission.
