Good to read your face, too, Harry! We had winter about a month ago......on
a Wednesday, IIRC. A nice sunny day today, about 56°F and going to be better tomorrow. The last time there was snow here was about 35 years ago. We got 13", measured in my front yard, over a 24 hour period and a day later it was gone. I had to mow last week. Heirloom, old and I love winter. "webster72n" wrote in message ...
