And yet, we still read it, and with interest.
Thanks, Capn. Good to hear!
Cool pics btw of the local pestilence. Pestilence... like Dr Zaius might refer to a human form of pest.
Yes! It is warmer up here too! I just came back from an errand, the car window open, and I heard frogs croaking in the ditches. Holy cats. We just exited February, and it feels like April. For us, a typical end of February is still at sub freezing. This could be a wild ride for Spring and Summer. I read somewhere that elnino is supposed to flip in the next few months. Time will tell.
Hard to believe that 6 weeks or so back, I was looking at this:
I tell ya. This storm was something else to behold. It was like a snowbomb went off. My power was knocked offline for near 24 hours but others faced 3 to 4 days of it. And the temps dropped to sub zero. When I managed to get out, I went to the nearest kwik trip for some coffee and chow. They had power. I had never seen them so busy because many others faced the same demise. After scarfing down food, I took a short drive of the area and my gosh, every tree branch was collapsed and straining under the weight. It was a surreal scene. The worst part in all this is what you can't do. No power means no heat, no lights, no tv, no internet, no stove to cook, no coffee pot for coffee, no nothing. All you can do is wrap up in a blanket and be bored silly. And btw, my electric recliner didn't work either. lol. It sucked. I felt badly for the others where it went beyond a day. Some of those poor souls would spend their time at local grocery sucking on coffee. Better than in a freezing house.
So, the focus and attention to detail to get a proper coat of paint on the Chariot is to be commended, not lamented.
And there is wisdom. I always appreciate that in you.
