I keep getting up and turning the heater down and I don’t understand why it won’t quit running. So I checked the Internet and it’s 35 frikkkn degrees outside.
Going to be cold tonight, already down to 37. Still misty and occasional light rain drips from the large live oaks that reach over the garden room roof. Otherwise all is quiet. We have several more days of rain off and on and cold (for here) temps. Winter this far south can be messy in its own way, but we… Read more »
If I have time I’ll tell the story of the dudes trying to break into daughter’s apartment. She was scared to death but she was sitting on the floor holding her S&W 38 Snubby while talking to the 911 dispatcher.
Well dang, I guess Ozark isn’t coming back. It ended on the last show but it had “ended” before. I liked it because it was so insane. Wendy was pure EVIL! She made Beth look like like a Girl Scout. For a while you thought Darlene was the most evil witch on the planet but she had nothing on Wendy.

I erased the original messed-up sudoku and started it again. It was just a matter of concentrating, and I finally got that one done. There was nothing tricky about it, just not concentrating.
Still holding at 27 even after dark. Schools for tomorrow were already cancelled in anticipation of some wintry precip, but I don’t see anything on the radar that looks like precip. I got all my chili fixins ready to go but decided to wait until tomorrow to do that. My covers over the plants are holding so hopefully the plants… Read more »
Very minor historical note: Our paternal grandmother was born outside Helena, Montana around 1904 or 1905.
