Thank you. He had some health issues from being a big man (picture a large Ving Rhames) and passed peacefully in his sleep. His heart just stopped the doc said.Sorry about your ex-FIL.

Lucky. We have to work no matter what. It's one of the downsides of being able to work from home: if you can't get in, you're expected to work from home.Possible 6 - 12 inches on Thursday with 50 - 60 mph winds....no work me thinks.
Thank you. He lived in the Houston area so the family put the service on Facebook.My condolences, especially when the loss is so sudden like that.
My next stop was the St.Jan cathedral.
And what is Disney thinking????

My sister works for a hospital and yes she has to go in. She had to sometimes stay overnight during a bad storm or snow.Never work for a hospital--even if there's a zombie apocalypse, they expect everyone to come in, regardless.![]()
Oh no. I think you can buy some kind of tape to wrap them in to keep them warm. Our DD and SIL well pump froze this morning. They put in a big light to keep it warm all winter after they repaired it today. I hate winter!My mom just called to say her bathroom pipes are frozen.Great.

That was a good thing to do back when cars were primative, but, today with all things connect to a computer, taking out the battery completely on a daily basis can throw everything off kilter. Batteries are a little weaker when cold, but, ignition systems are a lot different now, and disconnecting the battery every night can cause some problems Unless something is wrong with the battery a new one should last 5 to 6 years. If I still lived in that climate I would install a circulating water heater so that when you go to start the car in the morning the engine is somewhat warm already. You get internal heat quicker as well.Up here in the North, some people even remove their batteries at night during long, seriously cold spells (like zero for 8 days in a row). The battery stays warm in the house overnight, and the next morning, they hook it up again and the car starts immediately. It's inconvenient, but luckily we don't have many long subzero cold snaps.
Also I heard today that the auto supply stores keep running out of batteries, because a lot of people were replacing theirs this past week. (Ours was new last summer.)

Guess the kids all get bundled up like Randy in "A Christmas Story" then.Hopefully the schools are all nice and toasty.
It's 3 degrees today. THREE. We're heading into the negative degrees this week, not including windchill. I normally like the winter, but having just come home from Orlando, I'm having a hard time with it this year
Trip report writing took so much time! I've got 17 pages to catch up on here![]()
Stay inside when you can. YIKES no words http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/food-drink/g14481365/best-winter-beers/
On Saturday I visited Den Bosch, the city I was born in.
I ate a Bosche Bol which is a large profiterole filled with sweetened cream and topped with chocolate ganache.

With a very full tummy I walked to the market, as long as I can remember the town has had a market on Wednesday mornings and all day Saturday. The flower stalls are my favorite as I love the smell.
You can also buy fruit and vegs, fabric, cheese, meat, fish and an assortment of other things.

No visit to Den Bosch is complete without stopping by Tum Tum, a candy shop that hasn't changed in over 80 years.
