And this was 3:00 P.M. today, 11-12-19

How cold was/ is it?

    Cold enough that the 3-day old  ice collection hasn't melted yet:I turned the pail with the frozen ice in it over 2 days ago, and it finally melted enough to slip out of the pail, so here is the molded ice. Maybe good until January thaw, if we have one.

Turkey Trauma

  When my darling kids were just that, darling, they took delight in small treasures. When I would be decorating the Christmas tree, they would spend hours playing with the small individual ornaments  their Kingston grandparents would give them each year. (I'll have to post a picture of those before said ornaments drift out of being.) 
   So it will come  as no surprise that I still have in the house this wax candle turkey, with an attached price tag of 59 Cents. Turkey probably is about 47 or 48  years old now. I don't remember buying it; Dave may have brought it home, as I didn't shop that much when the kids were really small. Turkey was a table decoration for a few weeks, and then on Thanksgiving Day, his wick was lit in honor of the day.
   "No, don't burn him!" came the horrified shouts. So here he is today.

First Snowfall

I looked out the window, in the early morning darkness,  and saw:  Yep, that's what the camera revealed;  my car was covered with snow. Now it's a coating of frozen icy snow.

Well, Somebody calls...

"Hello this is James from U.S. Auto Care. How are you? "   From where?  "How are you?  How are you?" 
  I gather if you don't disclose your condition, James hangs up.

Scam

   Kind of a different call, but one I've received several  times now.  Caller says my bank  account has already been charged $299, for some subscription service, and if I want to receive a refund, I'm to call the Resource Officer at given number. I don't know how they benefit, but I assume I'd have to give my bank acct. number. I'm not curious enough to check on it, but the caller does sound official.
