Good early morning GH. It really is just past 1:00 AM in "The City." Our current temperature is 33 degrees as we head for a high of 34. No snow falling, for once. Given the amount we have received already this winter, that's okay with me. Since we started early this season, we should surpass last year easily. Sugar the Weather Dog likes the snow, but it is now higher than her undercarriage, and so she really does have to bound when she is out.

Thursday was a slow day for me. Mary made her sauerkraut and Swiss cheese sandwiches for brunch, and I still like them. Our driveway finally got cleared about 4:30 PM. Mary had thoughts about going out earlier in the day, but since our man who does this service for us was unable to come earlier, we shortened our trip to just going downtown. While the stores on Washington weren't busy, the eateries, even those that are usually not crowded on a regular off-season Thursday evening, were. However, by the time we were heading home, the Post was closed and there was a light snow falling. Maybe tomorrow we can visit Sally.

Mary worked on her latest project and I got started on the next one. She keeps getting new ones. It is shaping up to be a busy winter for her, and by extension, me. Given the fact that we can't leave town while I am rehabbing that's alright with me. My highlighting takes a bit longer with one arm less than 100%. For those of you who are curious, Mary added to her blog yesterday. Good photos and commentary regarding our Christmas activities can be found at: http://marygoeswalking.blogspot.com/. I also finished reading my latest library book, and it was both informative and in a way, scary. It is called The Crash of 2016, by Thom Hartmann. It is a real eye opener, even if it is only half right.

Today, I have my next P/T appointment at 3:30 PM. To facilitate our egress on P/T days, Mary gave the snow shovel person our schedule for the next several weeks. If the snow keeps falling at the current rate, I don't know where he is going to pile it.

The other day, we made all of our appointments for mid-afternoons so that it would be easier on all of us. Mary has to work up until we have to go. One thing about indexing, deadlines have to be met if you want more work in the future. Personally, I am enjoying the work because the books are mostly about topics of my interest.

No trains yet, but they may be along. I usually hear them around midnight. So, either they are late or not coming. As it turns out, the train is just going by now at 2:00 AM. A few covered hopper cars and black tank cars. Sugar the Weather Dog is keeping her radar ears alert from her office on the couch. Whenever a delivery person, a snow shovel person, or a non-regular letter carrier comes on the porch, she let's us know right away. Our regular letter carrier has been coming for a little over two years, but I don't think I have ever seen her react to a train. I didn't see a reaction this time either.

That looks like about it for Thursday and today. Tea time will  be soon and the Sun will rise and set at 8:15 AM and 5:17 PM respectively. No additional snow for two days and sunny skies are expected. Ciao.
