Warm and sunny today. Life is good. Snow tonight maybe. Maybe less good tomorrow.
I can’t see jumping out of a perfectly good airplane especially into the water.

Good evening, mountainlion....good luck with your weather.
We are finally supposed to start dropping down into “regular” weather and maybe some snow the next few days. I thought we might not have a white Christmas. It’s been high 30s and mid 40s for a couple weeks, with some nights freezing rain. YUCKY!!
I’m with you on jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. d:o)

Howdy, Kathy.
Have the roads dried off so there won’t be a glaze of ice when the snow arrives?
And did you push your winds down here? LOL! It was pretty wild today.

Major roads aren’t bad. The parking lot here at work is sloppy wet. I have to stop at Sam’s Club just across the street....hoping it is fairly dry. 43 now but dropping into the 20s overnight.

Your cold weather showed up from somewhere else. It’s still right nippy here. It didn’t get nearly as warm as they said it would.
Everyone but Lorien is doing well. Poor lil girlie is staying at the vet clinic overnight with a catheter in her arm. She was dehydrated enough they wanted to do a slow drip of fluids into her overnight. Though she was finally able to keep water down by last night, she’d gone too many days not being able to. The fluids should perk her back up again. I hope so any way. That was a NASTY bug she had.
