jhetleyWe did, as I predicted, start out with black ice on the roads and sidewalks. It seems to have melted by now. "Seems" because I haven't tested it since the newspaper walk.
May get all the way up to 40 F for a high. Which means, I drag out my old painting outfit (circa 1970 army fatigues, which I can still get into, so there!) and apply some of that caulking I have been holding in reserve. Thus do we winterize our cave for the coming ice age.
Speaking of which, Wife has an anthropologist's explanation for the Black Friday shopping mayhem. This is the vestigial remains of autumn hunting and gathering, in which the men snarl at each other over the best chunks of mammoth and the women elbow each other away from the choicest roots and berries and nuts.
Survival of the fittest, at Best Buy and WalMart. The Devil take the hindmost . . .
