Nice shiny ice on the birdbath this morning. . . . (This is not some sort of lurid metaphor.)

It is a bit chilly, I'm just glad my furnace is working properly again, it only took four trips from their tech, last one with an inspector.

It apparently was installed wrong over 10 years ago when I had it put it, took that long for a redundant relay to fail, thank Bob for the service contract.

That sucks.

I guess that's the trade-off for no smog, fires, mudslides or quakes.

Ahh our lovely California crisis cycle:

Drought dries out the forest Fires burn the dry forest El Ni=F1o causes too much rain and no grass on the hills from fires and we have mud slides Also grows lots of new grass Drought dries the grass... Rinse and repeat and shake with a quake every third cycle to help keep things interesting

Well? Put out the skates for the birds. WW

Forgot the one I figured out - Rain lubes the crack and eases the strain easily. Dry is jerky.

Yeah. Snowdrifts, black ice, frozen, broken power lines and buried fire hydrants that suddenly make themselves known. (g)

Left out the step where build on unstable hillsides in the midst of all that underbrush then wonder why get burnt out or slide downhill... :(

But we are soon to have Rob Ford, that will make all the problems go away.
