Firstly, there appear to be some issues with wordpress this morning. If you don’t get the result you expect from the site, reload.

40F and still outside, with mostly clear skies. Beautiful orange and pinks with glowing cirrus and chemtrails 😉

Let’s see, trouble in the Middle East, trouble at home. Bankers and money men still milking it for every last drop. Western culture, one of the most successful EVER, continues to commit suicide. A mania for sex abuse. And a couple more kids shooting up schools.

I guess this is the new normal.

Damn.

Thanks to everyone who shared a bit yesterday and Monday. Sharing makes the burden just a little bit lighter.

40F this morning and damp here in Houston. Our short reprieve from the cold seems to have ended. The apple trees will appreciate the cold, but I think the rest of us are ready for spring.

While we mourn the passing of our friend, let’s take time to remember the impact he had on us and others, (publicly or privately) and celebrate the achievements and successes of his life.

ADDED- my plan at the moment- take a couple of days, let people comment and check in and share whatever they want, then resume ‘normal’ posts and comments.

Access and site loading have been a bit spotty.  The site isn’t going away without notice, so DON’T PANIC.  No idea why there are issues, but I think it’s a WP issue.

Whoever recommended the Wrinkle book to me, I can’t find the email. Great choice, thanks!

It was 32 degrees, sunny, and winds of 15 to 20mph when I took Colin out at 8am.

It was 12 degrees and sunny with 40 mph wind gusts and a wind chill of -5 to -15 when I took Colin out at 8am. We had at least 4 inches maybe 5 by the time the snow moved out of here late yesterday afternoon.

It was 13 degrees and snowing when Colin went out at 8am. Looks like we’ve had about an inch so far. This is not to be a big snow maker for us in the mountains; 1 to 3 inches. Again, the coast of NC will get more than we will, which also happened a couple of weeks ago.

It was 21 degrees, sunny, and calm when I took Colin out at 8am.

Nothing new to report.

11:15am. Long story short. When I arrived at the facility yesterday around 11am the RT and PA were in the room. The RT had been having a problem with suctioning and the trach and was getting ready to call me. Bob was not in any distress and breathing okay but there was something going on with the trach that I felt the hospital needed to handle.I had them call EMT to take him to the emergency room. The hospital did replace the trach and treated him for a UTI and dehydration. At 5:15 the ER nurse said it would be 10pm before transport was available to take him back to the facility. They were keeping him suctioned and taking care of him so I headed to Frances’ picking up dinner on the way to her house. Al had already left Winston around 2:30 to come up here for the night. It was 11:15 when they called to let me know he was back to his room.
I stopped by this morning to talk with the head of nursing and the RT to make sure we are all on the same page. He was, of course, sleeping after the long day and night.

Just a placeholder stub for now, I may have some more on rats later.
