Lottsa Snow! We had a lovely snowstorm on Monday, and I ended up being snowed in and working from home. I made the best of it even though I was on dial-up in the middle of a storm and using a computer that is slightly past its prime. I can log-in from home to check…

So we went to the Irving, filled a jug, brought it back…and it still doesn’t…

I’ve been bragging lately about my car and how it’s been starting perfectly on these cold morning, without even being plugged in. Tonight it decided to teach me a lesson. I’m not sure what happened….I started it and left it running for about a 1/2 hour because it is -27 degrees. Then when I went…
