Hi Potties!
Max - Did you get some of the rain? My friends in Lakeland checked in today after getting some rain & wind - they didn't mention how cold they got. Did the rain in the panhandle help with the wildfires? What I heard sounded like Tallahassee got clobbered.
Didn't realize Lowe's was bundling appliance sales but it's been several years since we bought an appliance. There used to be stores that sold scratched/dented appliances & if they're still around I doubt they'd want to sell more than 1 of anything. Good luck with your search.
How can home insurance cancel your policy if you haven't had excessive claims? Was your letter from the insurance company or from an agent? Years ago my agent dropped coverage on my car but I wrote the company & said I wanted to stay with them & they kept me even tho the car was beyond their usual age limits. Maybe a letter to whoever wrote the letter would help - or is there a FL insurance commission (government) you could contact?Shelly - Things must be bad in Erie - the weather channel I watch was showing your area was due for low's around 20* with 3-5" of snow. Did it happen? Sat. AM here the temps were in the high 20*'s (ab't 27 when I turned the TV off about 8AM). I just checked & it's 22* at almost 6AM on Sun. There go my camellia blooms that were just coming back from the last freeze. I'm glad the daffodils & hellebores don't care if it freezes.
I put the bird feeders out about 7AM on Sat. & by the time I got back inside & sat down on the couch, I had 8 different species stuffing themselves. The front deck had a skim of ice & I saw a few snowflakes just before 8AM. The wind finally died down during the afternoon sometime. Hard to believe it may be in the 70* range by the end of the week. I feel for all the southern farmers - peaches, apples & strawberries were already blooming & that's not good.
The d*mned time change is already upon us again. There's a bill in Congress to just stay on DST all year. Hope they finally do something. I've said for years they should move the time 30 minutes & leave it be forever. Fat chance of that happening.
The zoo is fed & I plan on getting up to watch the race - minus an hour's sleep - so had best head for the bed & current book.
Everybody take care & everybody but Gordon stay warm. Gordon, you & Sylvia stay cool & dry. Later.
