Frost

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 38 degrees, high 52 degrees, mostly cloudy, intermittent cold sprinkles, windy

The weather continues to be cold, and I saw frost on some roofs this morning when I went for a short walk. Global warming? It's all a big scam that certain people are trying to put on the rest of us. I think all of us want to protect the environment, but to try to get people to do things by trying to use the sky is falling technique is wrong. I think part of the scam is designed to redistribute money from certain groups of people to other groups. There are some well intentioned people who are truly concerned about the world and environment, but there are others who seem determined to paint as bleak a picture as possible so the rest of us get scared and get the same mentality. Global warming? Bah!!

As I write this entry for the blog, it is 2030 hours at night. We just got home from Terri's house and are tired. It has been a long day, starting with Carolyn getting up at 0400 hours because she couldn't sleep. I managed to stay in bed until 0600 hours, primarily because it was cold and the bed was warm. We had some chores to do early, and then went to buy groceries about 1030 hours. With a couple small errands to be done along with the shopping, it was 1400 hours before we arrived home. After putting everything up, we went to Terri's, and arrived there by 1430 hours. After putting up some groceries there, I started on some chores outside, while Carolyn starting washing clothes and other tasks.

Since the weather was cold, Carolyn had decided that we would have chili for supper. The chili was a big hit, as expected. I asked Carolyn to prepare some cornbread to eat with the chili, and I thought it was a nice touch, rather than having the crackers like we usually do.

The weather should warm up later on this week. If it does, I have some tasks to do outside, such as cleaning the gutters, doing some painting, pressure washing, etc., etc., etc., not necessarily in that order. There is no shortage of things to do. In addition, there is plenty to do inside the house. We have owned and sold eight houses in the past, and we have learned what has to be done to make a house look its best to a buyer. Most of our houses have sold within two weeks of being placed on the market, and we are hopeful that we have the same kind of success with Terri's.

More later, be safe.
