Though I haven't been able to talk much online (or off for that matter & my kids have thoroughly enjoyed it!), I have been reading the entries & enjoying them all. Let's see, Christmas & health....both could have been better, but could have been worse, too! My d-in-law had one of her half hour fits (she has 2 every hour/24 hours a day) & I didn't get to see the kids. Probably won't for a long time as she has been ushered from my home for her attitude. I don't need it. The rest of my family was here, which I was thankful for. My kids were fit to be tied that she would have acted the way she did. The all helped to lighten the holiday for me somewhat, though. The holidays were a bit depressing this year due to d-in-law & health, but am hopeful the new year will be better. My business is doing okay so far, though fuel costs could be lower. Through all the bad weather, we are still moving. We are being overwhelmed with snow! Another few inches expected tonight & system snow for the holiday weekend. I am running out of places for my snow removal service to put it! There is so much snow that a compact car I have out back is totally buried. I have two 62 pickup's out there that are nearly buried. I am thankful I was able to put the convertible under cover or I'd have to wade snow clean up to ? just to clean it off. It has been very cold. Trucks & trailers are suffering from frozen lines & drivers must constantly be warned to use additives to keep fuel & airlines clear. Doesn't always work though. Everyone keep up the chat, it is good hearing of you all even if I can't chat for the moment. It is nearly 11:45 p.m. here & I must get some sleep. The morning will come early here again. TTFN!

Hi Becky et al, my son spent some time working around Bismark, North Dakota some years ago and I remember him telling me that the parking places had cables provided to plug in to the cars [automobiles] in order to stop the engines freezing solid.
