Better than me. Woke up to a call from “Microsoft technical support” a
little before 7am. Better than the 4:30am call a couple weeks ago.
Weather is clear and cold. 40 in the backyard. New fence people coming
today. Can not believe the prices. No inflation? 2 gates, and 160’ of
fence. $10,777.

The weather people didn't expect this. It's still snowing out there.
Probably another 2 inches or more since this morning.

Winter is a pain in the ass.

The last time I enjoyed snowy, cold winter weather was in junior high,
when we sneaked onto the Yale Golf Course for sledding and went ice
skating on the pond in Woodbridge just past the Parkway.

It was even colder out there in Kansas when I hoofed it two miles in the
snow, wind, and ice to that 8 am freshman physics class. Walking past
the campus nuclear reactor didn't help, and the Pi Phi girls didn't
invite me in for hot chocolate. :) That north wind would blow across
the eastern prairie with nothing to stop it.

Why can't you build your own fence? Not much chance you'd fall off it.

We got a bit more than that. Neighbour on corner was already around with his snowblower and promises to be back to do our driveway to the street after the plows have done their duty.

Maybe his neighbors will pay for it to keep him on his own property! :)

I can believe that! Who'd want him roaming around ranting and raving with his 'crazy talk'?

It 's good to have good neighbors who look after the weak and infirmed.
