It's cold out...oh I sound like a broken record/skipping CD/bad WiFi connection on streaming music...

Tomorrow I have a grocery order to pick up from the comfort of my heated seats in my car. I chose to go ahead and get it out of the way tomorrow because it's just going to get colder into the weekend and I feel badly for those poor guys who have to slip across the parking lot with peoples' groceries. I think the sun might come out for an hour or two tomorrow, which would be really nice!

Fourth shoveling:

Snow’s over with, so I’m hoping it’s my last one…but now we’re under a wind advisory, so expecting drifts by tomorrow AM.

“Hello shovel, my old friend…”

That last line…definitely!

All done:

Note that’s just half the driveway - enough to get one car out, should we need to.

Well since it's not going to melt for at least several weeks, why not tackle the other half tomorrow? You know you won't be able to help yourself, LOL.

Edited to add it's that dratted imbalance that eats at the OCD...

Ooh so mean, you’re gonna set off the OCD.
Oh does saying that set it off?

I am hearing the clackity clack of keyboards (for those of us who are posting from our computers), not the sound of silence.

I recall taking the key caps off to clean them, all 110, and then couldn't remember where they all went so...



painted them all black! (True story!)

Yeah I was trained old fashioned on a typewriter in Jr high school. I don't need to look, either.

These days you can set the keyboard, but have some fun and try a French or German keyboard
I've always been glad the Netherlands uses a querty one

After 4 days at 35°C, today's high of 15°C feels decidedly chilly. I've actually put socks and slippers on, as well as a t-shirt and cotton cardigan.

I touch type in British English, not Australian which has been causing fun and games on our home laptop. I've set the keyboard language to UK British but the actual keyboard is US... the result is that I can write my passwords down for my OH and he still can't log on to my laptop because I automatically change the location of certain keys in my head, whereas he hunts for them on the keyboard...

I genuinely thought everyone used qwerty, I realise now that’s pretty funny

Yeah, I just never thought about it at all!
