The cat was still snoozing on the porch on my walk back a while later.  Bliss.

Thank you all so much for the congrats on my 10th anniversary blip.  I had totally lost track of the time.  Mind boggling that it's been 10 years, well, give or take because pauses here and there.   

Blip is a great place to be and I have you all to thank for that and of course my friend Jenny who encouraged me to join the site.

Looks like a lot of the country is heading in to some truly brutal winter weather.  Extraordinary. 

It'll be warm and dry here.  Porch cat will be pleased.
