Gut Shabbes, Mooch...my response got lost in cyberspace when IE decided it needed to shut down. I found your song.

Thanks, Kathy! I remember seeing Al Jarreau years ago — he was great.

Good night (morning?).

TGIF and happy Friday, Liberty.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, puppypusher. I shoveled the driveway a couple hours ago in preparation for more snow to fall later. It is now 1am and the snow is coming down....they say 4-10” depending on where you live. Morning will tell. Have a good Friday and I hope you are warm.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh no, Taz....you took a spill too? Doing ok now?

Good morning, Mayor...((HUGS))...have a good Friday. Thanks for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Most if not all of the schools in our area are back in session. A lot of the ice has melted off.

There are still a few ISD's closed like Bray-Doyle, Central High and such.

It warmed up into the 40's yesterday. Much of the ice has melted off the roads.
