Someone built this snowman beside my building. I assumed it was the building manager's kids, but the beer-can hand suggests otherwise.

This picture also shows the lovely evening light over the western mountains.

In other news, I begin my volunteer gig tomorrow with the high school band. I've been looking for ways to get myself involved in the community here, as the town is very disconnected, and this is a great opportunity. The director is a first-year teacher who needs help with the brass and I have the education to be able to help, though I haven't done anything like this in a few years. I'm very hopeful that it will go well.
