Good 2º morning. Again. No thaw. Did warm to the high 20ºs
yesterday and a little snow fell off the trees and I think some slid off the
roof. Weird noise.
I had to bundle up, find my snow boots, and turn off the well house ... the
electric panel is up behind the house between here and the well house... circle
is electric panel, arrow is well house.
From there.... looking back at house....
Mike got here about 10am and did a temporary fix on the broken
pipe under the porch. It was the one that goes to the faucet for the hose. Said
he will return when it warms up and repair the pipe. The water has frozen up
between the well house and the house, so still no water. Hope all that thaws
SOON!!!
As some of you know I made a big bowl of popcorn, drizzled on
melted butter, sprinkled on cheese, set it by my chair so I could enjoy it and
watch football yesterday..... I had a couple bites and had to get up from the
chair... when I returned Dude had that "why are you looking at me that way,
mom?" look on his face...
.... and all the popcorn was gone!
Historically this date...
1979 – The eradication
of the smallpox virus is certified,
making smallpox the first and to date only human disease driven to
extinction.
2008 – The
Governor of Illinois, Rod
Blagojevich, is arrested by
federal officials for a number of crimes including attempting to sell the
United
States Senate seat being vacated
by President-elect Barack
Obama's election to the Presidency.
.... at
least he's still in jail, for a while longer!
And
births this date include....

fyi, too many pictures to post. If you want to see a photo of them and/or read
about them, click on their name, it's the link)

.... Ha
ha ha... "Dick Butt Kiss" !!!
About
11:30 I bundled up again
and
headed out to get some wood from the woodpile....
One
wheelbarrow full and I was done!
Then
about 2 I drove down and put out the trash can on the road.
One car
went by very slowly... and the road was just ice! I did pick up my mail that had
been there for a couple of days. Doesn't look like I will be going anywhere
soon!!! Keep your fingers crossed my water pipes thaw soon... a shower would
really be nice!
This is the first time I've evre had icecicles on my house!
Football
was wild yesterday... the game between the Eagles and the Lions was
unbelievable... 6" of snow on the field and more coming down steadily throughout
the game! My Patriots were awesome! Last minute. Sigh.......
All I
know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Most all schools closed up here... closed on
Friday so the teachers and kids get at least a 4 day weekend! And as my pal PJ
repeats often "globalwarmingmyass"!!! Ciao.
