Have "Good bye, Farewell and Amen" on in the background on mute. I can't watch it or listen to it. I've been wanting to cry off and on all day. I can catch bits of it out of the corner of my eye and that is enough.

Freakin' cold around here. 20 degrees right now. Low of 8 tomorrow night, with a windchill below zero. What the shit? That's not supposed to happen for at least another month. It's going to be 50 degrees again next Monday.
Ton of snow today. More than I would have cared for this early in the season, but a great test of the waterproofing that was done. Unlike Halloween when I took in a decent amount of water, everything inside the porch was bone dry all day long. We easily had 10 times as much snow today too. Everything is holding up nicely even with the wind howling all day long.
The plastic covering the window in the attic where I have the blower is holding up nicely as well, and I'm actually really surprised how much heat the attic is retaining now just from that simple little step. I'll probably save $100 or more this season just by taking a few minutes to put that up. Will be doing it again next year.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Too... cold...
I failed to prepare with the food situation before the cold spell... I still have a huge pail of brown rice and a few pounds of vegetables.
I think I'm going to be a vegan for the next 48 hours.
Wake me up when it's 40 degrees again.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Is there anybody or anything besides whites you aren't bigoted against? First you exposed yourself as being a racist when Rep. Elijah Cummings died. Now it's anti-gay.
Good grief

Jack,
WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYyyyyy back - from when I was a kid mumble mumble decades ago in NYS ... the Thanksgiving song ... Over the river and thru the woods, to grandmother's house we go ... the part about bright and drifted snow made sense. Then over the years the snow came later and later, got skimpier and skimpier, until there were a few Christmases that weren't really white. So your snow and cold isn't that out of line, depending on your reference point!
Hey, let us know how your water-proofing holds up, OK?
And YAY for the plastic on the attic window!

How are you holding up otherwise, Brenda? I read your posts in your Veteran's Day thread, and here. There are songs I strongly associate with people who've passed on, people who I still deeply mourn even though it's been many years. One song is "The Scottish Soldier". But I tend to cry only when my mood starts to dip starting in fall through winter, like now.
So I hope the rain isn't too bothersome at this point.
Chin up Brenda. Winter will pass. Now is the time for quiet, rest, home. Hugs.

As for here ...
As you know, I was on edge because of the multi-week 'red flag warning' for my area, which in the news was associated with a lot of hot, fast-moving, wildland fires, even in urban areas. So even though those red flag warnings expired, along with my feelings of being unsettled and on alert, fire season isn't over! I check both the weather forecast and the AQMD air quality forecast every day. If I want to know which way the wind is blowing - literally - the AQMD forecast is the best shortcut. If the air quality is better in the deserts, and worse closer to the coast, it means that the air is overall blowing from inland to seaward. And that's a Santa Ana, no matter how mild. And that means low humidity, and increased fire danger, even if there's no red flag warnings up.
About a week ago there was an earthquake swarm in Ventura County, north of here. And now there's a swarm near the Mexico border, south of here. Well, that bookends my area nicely!
If I had more time I'd look them up. I'd want to know how tightly grouped they are, and how shallow, and if they're associated with any known or newly-revealed faults.
Last time I looked into a swarm in spring, it was in San Bernardino County east of here. It was EXTREMELY shallow! They were individually easily half the depth of a typical very shallow earthquake. So I speculated they might have something to do with our abundant rains last winter, and replenished ground water.
But now - for these swarms - I have other fish to fry.
Ciao Signy, Brenda and Jack! Good wishes. TTUL!
