Wednesday Update from the Frozen Hills

Still freezing here, although it has warmed up to a balmy 11 degrees, up from negative 11. Got no water but have lots of heat, for which I am eternally grateful. Job interviews that I had scheduled this week have all been rescheduled for next week. Thank God.

Oregon is having freezing rain and has essentially closed all businesses today. My poor dad. I guess a pipe burst in the ceiling of his apartment and gallons of water poured out of the light fixture all over his office and then down into the apartment below. He most likely will need to be moved to a different apartment in order for them to make repairs, but no word yet when that will be.

Briefly scanned the headlines but nothing jumped out except the usual propaganda. Not worth commenting.

Last, but not least. This is for Cederq:

Stay warm out there!

  1. Are you making fun of my 'Neener, neener, neenering?" I like that jacket, might find one and wear it to a C&W bar with a dance floor! Lastly, and most leastly, "YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!" I could be poopy pants about it...

  3. I know how your dad feels. I was in his shoes, night before last. Fortunately I was able to shut the water intake off before more water damage happened. Ruptured pipe from the cold snap. About $20 of pex fixed the problem but it was a hell of a way to find out about it.

    Thank God I'm moving next week anyway.

  4. That song was pretty childish, which is why I liked it.
    Good luck on your interviews next week.
