..looks like having earthquakes isn't so bad after all!

But there are a lot of other places with the same temperatures that do not have earthquakes.

It's 30º right now[9:00am] and nice out...Relatively...

Forecast for next 10 days is decidedly better...30's & 40's with two days in the high 20's...

Eric, I had two retired couples/customers who lived in Florida for our Winters...Gulf coast side...There was a hurricane about 7 - 10 years ago IIRC...They got wiped out...House destroyed, belongings ruined...They were devastated...They had hurricane insurance but not flood insurance...And it was the flood damage that wiped them out...Insurance company wouldn't pay...Damage not directly attributable to hurricane or somesuch...Now they're stuck here year round...

Well, here we go. -12F right now, with 30 to 40 below predicted for the weekend. No big deal. Seen it a hundred times before. Thinking about going out moose watching tomorrow...

That gun is probably illegal in California, but it is legal in Kentucky.

Ha! It was 47º here yesterday!

Snow is mostly all melted; evening news is full of video of flooded basements along the Buffalo River. Mail delivery is still delayed.
