BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR…
It’s gotten very cold here. Today’s high was 32°F, which is just a bit unusual. We had our first snow forecast before Halloween (!) although the snow never materialized. We had our first snow on Monday (11/17), but none of it stuck. We had our second snow yesterday while I was in Huntsville, AL on [...]
Critters ‘n Gasoline n’ Other Stuff
We spent Father’s Day weekend with John’s parents. It was a nice weekend; pretty hot though. When we got back, my Gas Price Barameter (a family-owned non-branded service station), who had held their ground at $3.99 for weeks while every other station in town hit $4+, had hit $4.03 for a gallon of regular unleaded.

Melting Yet?
The house that I grew up in didn’t have central a/c or heat. In the winter, we had electric baseboard heaters and a wood burning stove; in the summer we had a couple of window a/c units (Four?). The window units were on when it was really hot outside; any other time, the windows were [...]

After the last power hit that the building took, the network and phones didn’t come back up, so I finally had to just face facts and send everyone home. Power was out everywhere I [...]

How Timely!
So, it’s T-33 hours and counting until we’re on the train to NYC and I’m starting to wonder what it’s going to be like. Anonymous (a world-wide distributed anti-scientology network with no real leader) is planning an anti-Scientology protest around the Times Square area on Saturday — just a block from our hotel! The Rev. [...]
Spring Cleaning
We went outside this morning to open the pool, and this is what we found. *sigh*
I guess the temperatures have been a little warmer than I thought. We got the cover off and the pump running. I tossed in some chemicals and drained a little water so that the solid matter would get into the [...]
