Two-hour delay

We're on a weather-induced two-hour delay. Well at least that's what I am used to hearing it called. When I check the emergency conditions site for my school district, it simply says "2 hrs late" just like that. Now what does that mean? Does that mean the conditions report is going to be 2 hrs late? Does it mean that there will be school, but everyone will be marked tardy anyway? Thankfully, the Language Arts teacher is upstream on the phone tree. She telephoned and was able to sort out this confused mess. Actually she talked to CaraDD who didn't seem to be confused at all.

Speaking on confusion, I heard that the 3rd week of January is usually the most depressing time of the year. The excitement of Christmas time festivities has passed, the bills for Christmas time festivities are coming due, and the sun is still hiding most of the time. Is this true? Would it be equally true for folks in the southern hemisphere? Do they experience depression in the last two weeks of July? With the Christmas materialism factor removed, what would change? What do they worry about now that the ozone holes have patched themselves? Sounds like a research project to me. If they don't suffer the same depression, maybe the UN should mandate another extremely useful non-binding resolution to create a materialistic holiday for the southern hemisphere on the 3rd week of July. I think this dangerous depression imbalance could be the real reason behind demonstrably cyclic climate changes. We could be looking at another magnetic pole reversal, and nobody wants that. Somebody do something! I'd help, but I'm feeling a bit depressed right now...
