Got yesterday and today off, used some of the hours to batten down in advance of the storm expected this weekend.
Finally took down the hammocks and the patio umbrella as well as the extension cords for the holiday lights.
Also scraped off the indoor/outdoor carpeting that Ron had taped to the deck; it had frozen solid.
Ron’s been sick since last Sunday. He’s been a good patient, though.
We’re told there’s to be a big storm this Saturday.
Peter starts his new job in less than two weeks!
James started driver’s ed last night. He worked very hard to raise the funds to cover the outrageous cost.
I’m giving Alpha a ride home from YAG this evening. Haven’t seen her for a while, looking forward to it.
Ron changed the water pitcher filter last night.
He is sick.
Finally put this to use.
Coffee grinder, wood cutting board, bagel slicer, pottery, magnetic knife holder. Could be a house in Woods Hole.
I interrupted coding from time to time yesterday to “debate” the Sandernistas on Facebook.
Or should I say the rabid anti-Hillary Clintonites.
The accusations against Clinton have about as much substance as a Rush Limbaugh show segment: lots of opinions, almost no facts.
Another discounts Clinton’s standing as the most admired woman in the US for the last fourteen years and a total of twenty years as an aberration of polling.
I also had some antagonistic correspondence with the head of the Mashpee School Committee, who seems to forget whose interests he was elected to protect.
On the other hand, yesterday’s editorial in the Mashpee Enterprise reflects my opinion about the mishandling of this sorry business: a source of no small gratification.
The snow blower arrived today!
A tech from Sunnova was here to check out and reset our meter.
Still looks like this, although it sure feels cold enough to snow:
I finished MT Anderson’s “Symphony for the Dead” a couple of days ago. Anderson is a writer of children’s books and this work was on the Long List for the 2015 National Book Award for young people’s literature.
Apparently that means the book is age-appropriate for 12-18 year olds. The fact that I found it engaging and well-written perhaps says something about my mental capacity at age almost-70.
