The power went out at my work. So I went to eat lunch early, and then for a walk. It was very cold outside, though sunny. In a sandy area, I came across some neat small ice formations - they looked like crystals pushed out of the sand and/or like little white long-stemmed mushrooms. I looked it up, and they are called ice needles.

If I had taken my new cell phone with me, and had remembered that it has a camera, I could have taken a photo of the ice needles I saw. I still haven't gotten the internet working on it though. Once I get the right data cable, I will try "seem editing" and/or reinstalling the phone's Motorola software to see if that helps. As well as installing Opera Mini. In any case, I've got some learning to do about cell phone software and modding.

If the power still isn't back on at work yet, I will go wrap some fiberglass insulation around the water pipes where they exit from the water heater. I noticed those pipes were quite warm and having them uninsulated probably wastes a bit of energy and heat. I also need to measure the diameter of the pipes so I can get some fitting pipe-sleeves to put on the pipes, further away from the water heater and its flue.
