Weather Outside? Downright Frightful

Being sequestered to one room for the better part of the day is not great fun nor healthy. Ventured out early this morning and turned around. Back to the house. So glad there is a computer here. It's cold. The frozen hot water is now flowing. The steps are frozen over again and I didn't need a return match. The knot on my head is gone and the knees are healing. The server that flew off my shoulder during the fall didn't make it.

There is a small heater under the desk. This is a common site in many offices and it kills me to see them plugged into a battery backup unit. Don't do it! The small "chill chaser" type heater usually cycles on and off by thermostat. When it kicks in there is an enormous amount of amperage used. This can shut your system down. If I hear a computer is shutting down at random looking under the desk is a first priority.

We are having a warmer day tomorrow. Should be sunny. Wow! Break out the grill, call your friends, get the blender for boat drinks...wait...the high is in the low 40s. Never mind.

"There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself."
