We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail! [President Bush]
Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
WINTER STORM #2 - UPDATE
...SNOW IS FALLING AT A MODERATE RATE ACROSS VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND
Overnight totals at the cottage are about 3", though this has not been measured yet. The current QPF says there is another 0.5 inches of precipitable water availble from 7 AM this morning through 3 AM tomorrow morning.
The event total estimate is now 8" for the area based on the QPF. That is still a 3-roll event. NWS forecasts call for as much as 10", if it appears that total will be met, then the designation will change to a 4-roller.
In the news:
Iraq has accused the weapons inspectors of being spies for the United States and Israel and has condemmed the inspection of one of the Presidential Palaces.
The United States will compare Iraq's weapons list, if they have one - Iraq is quoted in this morning's news as still saying they have no WMDs - against its own data, and is prepared to cite Iraq for a breach.
The United States is preparing to call up reserves in the event of a war with Iraq.
A US District Judge ruled that Jose Padilla, being held in the brig as an enemy combatant, does fall under the purvue of the Federal court system, insofar as to whether the Government made a correct determination of his status. [EDITORIAL NOTE: This is so bogus - it has got to be overturned!! It throws the whole ability of a Nation to capture the enemy out of whack!!]
And Strom Thurmond has turned 100 today.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Guennie hates to sound 'braggity'....especially reading how some of you are not enjoying the ....sssss.....SNOW!!!

....was just on the screened porch watching the tropical bird critters & the palm trees swaying in the gentle breeze.....(oldngray, don't you miss this!!)
Guennie is not trying to be meanspirited!!....
..just giving y'all a weather update from MY perspective :^)

Chicago's frozen tundra requiring Guennie to wear layers & layers of hot wool and mufflers and gloves and thermal thingies....was enough to last a looooong time :)

It's in the low 70s here.
We're not doing a cantata exactly......it's more of a Christmas program....
..complete with adult choir AND children's choir...AND scenery & video and the whole nine yards.
The theme is....Shine the Light at Christmas...
It starts out sounding very much like a Disney Christmas show, but soon straightens out to be very traditional.....
..really pretty music....very uplifting!
I'm an alto!
One teacher here has been working with a group of students for a few weeks now, teaching them Christmas songs and readings. They've shown a lot of improvement and I'm looking forward to their performance.
That's tough. Current conditions - heavy snow, visibility about 1/2 mile, light N wind, 27 degrees.
You say postcard, Guennie??? How about this? Sarah took this last weekend. The sled she made from a shopping cart hubby found in the canal. These will be our Christmas cards this year.
