Should thaw today or tomorrow, and ITMT, I'm able to temporarily provide us with running water by cross-connecting a hose from the tank room to one in the laundry room for an hour or so.
That allows us to get dishes done; take a shower; and, refill buckets, toilet tank, & miscl containers for other usage. Amazing what a pressure cooker & 20 qt stock pot full of water, sitting on a woodstove all day, can accomplish.
As to the spiral, the rocket bit is just too pat, as it was too absolutely perfect; even news reports had to 'certify' to the reader that the best photos were real, not Photoshopped.
I've seen what I've seen in the past, and while not discussed/reported, I don't need the government to tell me that I'm mistaken, hallucinating, nuts, misinterpreting, or whatever other BS they want to use to “explain” what they deny exists.
I suspect the whole world is going to have to increase dramatically in
“making do” skills.
Congrats you are doing OK.
