And the news and the weather are equally disturbing. And depressing.<\/p>\n

The light brite tree went back up to the attic yesterday (Jan. 2). On New Years Day when I went up to get the plastic bin it’s kept in, there was a big pile of snow on the attic floor. We have an 11-year-old roof, that was a peel off and supposed to be good for 30 years, so all I could think of was dredging up the warranty, which wouldn’t be that hard, but that it might be hard to get ahold of the company that did the work, although I think it was this company<\/a>, and they still seem to be in business. I just remember one of the guys standing on my front porch with his hand out, illustrating that “payment on completion” meant just that.<\/p>\n

Mark took the tree up and he thinks that we don’t need to worry unless it happens again. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

But meanwhile, that dumbfuck in the White House is starting, or escalating, anyhow, a war with Iran.<\/p>\n

Aargh. Lets talk about food.<\/p>\n

On New year’s day we ate hoppin’ john and fried eggs and sweet potatoes, and gave away furniture. That’s got to be lucky.<\/p>\n

Thursday I went back to work and got interested in the snow lumps the plow left in the courtyard at HC White.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
