Good morning, everyone. Bacon, eggs, and black coffee, please.
Normally, I get up about 6:00 a.m. and walk the dog. This morning, we got bundled up, started out, and turned around and came back in. I could not tell in the dark until I took several steps outside – we are covered in ice. My feet just about went out from under me. I thought it would be better to get to the snow, but all the snow is also covered in ice, and almost impossible to navigate. We came back in, so the dog is sitting there looking at me, depressed.
Charlie, sorry to hear that your Christmas was not real pleasant, but good to hear your wife had nothing serious. I think your winter is quite a bit colder than ours, but our conditions may be worse.
TF, Endymion was one of our favorite parades. It made for a great Saturday night before Mardi Gras. Our church’s pastor was a member of Endymion, so it was always fun to spot him. When the parade came by our church, he unloaded tons of beads and doubloons on us.
Bill, thanks for the interesting old photos. I didn’t think about Atlanta having a streetcar system, but I guess most cities had them back then.
Dave, Ed and Bear, you three seemed to have better luck getting into the forum than the rest of us. Thanks for keeping the diner open over the New Year. The waitresses appreciated it.
Mike, it sounds like you did a large Christmas light display. It must have looked great. I used to put out lights, but over the last years, we’ve had fewer and fewer until this year, my wife bought a projector that showed a nativity scene on the front side of the house. One extension cord, one projector — that’s it. And she put that out herself, which means I did nothing! I didn’t mind at all.
I have a great day scheduled today,
