Cold World of Wednesday
Hey, snow! Several whole inches worth! And also, it is cold!
Not that this was a HUGE surprise. We look at various weather venues daily and knew it was coming. So why I FORGOT to drain the pump in the wellhouse before the hoses all froze, I dunno. I hope none of the pipes crack and break. It's annoying when that happens. Also expensive. But on the plus side, the antifreeze in both cars is still good down to -25 or so. Two outta three ain't bad.
For your amusement, more True Life Crime reports from the Lamar Daily Snooze:
10:44 a.m. Suspicious Person - An officer responded to the 600 block of Willow Valley on a report of a person looking through a house window. Upon arrival the reporting party advised everything was alright (sic) and advised it was the painter who was painting her house.
11:53 a.m. Animal Problem - Animal Control advised a citizen at 604 E. Oak St. chickens are not allowed in-side (sic) City of Lamar.

Mike recently went yard saling with Caro and bought a grain car for his model train. It needed a different type of connector to match up to the rest of his set, though. Today we finally caught up with the train store guy and got the goods, and Mike's Under the Tree Special is now running with a full roster of cars.
The train guy was hard to catch up with this week because he is also the chief of the rural fire department, and there had been an ongoing problem with someone's 30 year old private dump catching fire and stubbornly refusing to go out. So he was out of the store a lot. Driving by there all the time is probably what put me in mind to (finally) do the photo essay page of the time we burned down half our back lot and most of the next as well.
People who have been on my Flist since June 2004 have seen this, but it will be new to a few.
Finally, here is today's Neon Hearts chapter. This one is a particularly pernicious bit of fanfic, because I commit the high crime and misdemeanor of giving myself and my family a cameo role! Beware!
Part 22--Life in the Breakdown Lane: Hank and Cassie are stuck with a flat and no jack, until a carload of strange folk stop to help.
