Sorry, Munchies hit.
Two Grilled Cheese made with Extra Extra Sharp Cheddar with slivers of jalapeno peppers. Cup of hot Twinings Irish Breakfast tea , *crunch* opps sorry, found a Heath Bar *crunch, crunch*.
Clothes: Welllll...it is like this. I am not far from the Duck Capitol of the World and Rice Capitol of the World.
So I know about freezing wet temps ( had my mustache break one than once) and I know about Big Skeeters in the Summer.
Some of my winter wear is gone, fire does that. Silk underwear, Wool pants, Wool shirts and such.
I have stuff in Storage, just not been out to get it, just finished up the Fall semester. My boots are in storage, as are some other stuff in silk, wool and the like. Yeah I know better, when I head that way I plan on getting some stuff I need to keep handy.
Hot Chocolate: Prefer the milk with Hershey's. Tried Ovaltine and not bad, used to drink this as a kid and thought- why not?. Now I get these instant mixes give to me in various places I am prone to hang out. The lesser known, like Shurfine or the Commercial "Royal" brand is not bad.
I get the BIG bar of Hershey's chocolate, slice off slivers into the hot chocolate. I just came up with this for some reason - seems to add some character. I like the small marshmellows - not the fake ones in the mix. Whip creame out of a squirt can is good too.
Now I like hot tea, I had this big tin of peppermint sticks give to me - the good stuff by Leos. Just regular hot tea, and toss a peppermint stick in there...good stuff on a chilly night.
So yeah if I get out tomorrow , most likely wear the faded blue jeans, the older tennis shoes with the hole in them, and my waxed cotton. My ugly wool hat and my nice Stetson burned up too...in fact I do not think I have a hat...
I have a hood on a zippered sweat jacket - that'll work.
11pm here, and nothing yet. It rained for about 2 minutes around 9pm. At the moment 34* F. Not supposed to "start falling" until after midnight. Then in my area we "could get accumulations reaching 1"- 2" " Read that last part in your best sensationalized voice - what the radio weather guy did...he was so dramatic.
Problem here is - we are not properly prepared with road crews and such. We have hills, and shady areas stay wet and re-freeze at night. It is the ice that gets us.
Most folks get hurt just getting mail, taking out trash...ice and down they go.
Funny , I was watching the animals , kind of interesting to watch animals to get an idea of weather. Not much unusual today.
Now somehow where I am staying in the city, someone / somehow we got 3 chickens in the area. I know roosters crow in the morning, I know how chickens sound at night and a predator comes around...I go to check outside on the weather and I got one rooster crow-ing...and the other two pecking in the neighbors yard down the way...
Not sure I have ever heard or seen this behavior before.
This weekend supposed to be in the 50* F again. Oh...we are tornado prone this time of year of too.
Interesting how we all carry on in our environments. How we each are set up in our own - in anothers we are not.
Tomorrow sounds like a good day to make homemade soup, pot of pinto beans, cornbread and baked apples.
