Thanks for the ping MamaD - seems all this govt does is wait and talk wait and talk while people die - military in particular.
There was a beautiful tribute to a fallen soldier in Afghanistan in our town - just about the whole town lined the streets with flags, it was an amazing thing to see. There were cranes with flags above several of the roads I was on going to Walmart. All the fire trucks were out with their lights on - sheriff, police even the electric co.

Can you even begin to imagine this?
Man admits using alias for immigration status
A Pakistani national in Florence has pleaded guilty to filing false statements to gain entry and citizenship, U.S. Attorney W. Walter Wilkins said in a press release.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas E. Rogers III, accepted the plea from 29-year-old Sohail Feroz Ali Dossani, also known as Sohail Muhammad Jamal, and sentence him after reviewing presentence report by the U.S. Probation Office. Dossani faces a $1,000 fine and six months in prison.
On June 12, 2008, someone told authorities he’d found two Pakistani passports bearing photographs of the same person but with different names. An investigation revealed that Dossani was a Pakistani citizen when he entered the United States using the assumed name of Sohail Jamal. He also used the name Jamal to obtain his permanent residency in the United States and tried to become a naturalized citizen using the false name by filling out and submitting immigration applications to the Citizenship and Immigration Services. Dossani admitted to using the false name during his October 2008 naturalization interview.
Never thought about frozen pipes/water damage. Thanks for the thoughts pennie.
IF you are sheltering in place in the cold winter, during a power outage, IF it isn't way too cold outside, you can frequently "babysit" the water pipes in your house -- by making sure that all faucets in the house are drip-drip-dripping.
But if you have to evacuate your home, and it is freezing cold outside, then ... I would shut off the water main to the house, and leave the faucets slightly open to drain out -- EMPTY water pipes will not break, as there is no water to freeze & expand within them.
Depending upon how long you expect to be gone, and depending on how cold the outside temp is, you may need to empty out the hot water heater, too -- I can't remember all the rules about leaving an empty house in the middle of winter.
Like you, I'll have to research further.

This reminds me of a NetFlix movie we just watched. “Taking Chance”......about a young Wyoming man, killed in Iraq, and the trip he made back home. Absolutely wonderful. Please watch it if you get the ‘chance’. It really shows the wonderful heart of America.
I've lurked the TM ever since it started, so have read your postings for many years -- just like probably tens of thousands of other American lurkers also have, LOL.
Yes, there are a lot of lurkers.
Shepard Smith on FOX News just announced that there has been a mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas - with at least 7 dead and 12 others wounded. The gunman is said to be in custody. That’s all the details they have currently.
There are 2 suspects, one is in custody; both were wearing army fatigues - but identity of the suspects is currently unknown.
Rescue crews rushing to Fort Hood
Wait, on MSNBC, General McCaffery says that it does NOT sound like a terrorist incident, but rather a criminal enterprise.
Gangs?
Robbery?
The general says there are at least 100,000 people at Fort Hood -- that's a CITY, hey?
Thanks for the ping, hennie pennie and prayers for all!
WOAH!!!!
My sister on post tells me they are telling her Antiwar nuts... Liberal scum... And they are still in lockdown and will be for a while
Thanks for the update, Rightly Biased!
thanks , for the up-date info hennie pennie
My last posting contains inaccurate information, as the
general at Fort Hood states that the gunman who is dead was a US soldier, and that he might have had 2 accomplices who are also US soldiers.
Malik Nadal Hassan - shooter - who’s now dead.
Alternate spelling in some articles - Malik Nidal Hassan.
