How is he doing?

Winds really kicking it here in the Piedmont of VA. Schools cancelled because superintendent didn't want kindergarteners being blown up into treetops.

It was my bad idea to start a juice fast yesterday. I'd really rather eat a few dozen cookies.

I'm back on the no carb/alcohol diet for the time being. Tough weather for that.

It's looking like a bona fide blizzard in Boston right now.

Very very cold here in Asheville. Bracing winds, low temps.

Was in Providence for work and had to bug out early. No flights, had to take the train and got home after midnight. Glad to ride this one out at Stately Turk Manor. Only 4-6" here.

A nice 65 degrees here in Vegas. We really could use that precipitation the east coast is getting. Hasn’t rained here in like 110 days.

Still no word. The Chevy dealership is "backed up".

I got a similar answer from FedEx on a 66 lb package that was shipped a couple weeks ago.

For the record -- I would SO watch the Gorilla Channel if it existed.

Ruined birthday. January birthdays stink on ice to begin with and this loss didn't help.

Aaaargh.

Ruined my Birthday Eve, fellow Capricorn

Ruined my Birthday Eve, fellow Capricorn

I actually meant 1/7 bday! Happy birthday to my fellow, slightly irritated and irritating (at least that's what I'm told by my family members all the time) Capricorn!

But then again, perhaps you are the exception.

Weather lulled us into a false sense of security this am. They had predicted freezing rain but the temp was 37 and road surfaces were reported as warm enough to avoid freezing. Unfortunately, my brother-in-law found that the bricks of their front steps and patio didn't follow this report. They were slick, causing gravity to take over. His hip is not happy with the discovery - he will be having surgery this week to repair it. Any prayers and vibes you can send his way (and to his wife/my sister) would be appreciated.
