Well, if we freeze solid, come down and thaw us out and have a real Texas Steak BBQ! No one will know the difference. I have a few more new stories on Microsoft Word in my computer to continue your boredom for a while. Just Sayin...RJS

Yep. Here in Texas we have an over abundance of natural gas. Houston is the petroleum capital. But the people in charge decided to convert some electrical plants to GREEN. Turbines frozen. Even with steady wind. They just sit there. Wow. With the new administration pushing “green deal “ I’m looking forward to the next way “government is on the way to help “.
Be careful who you vote for.

Well, we are finally in a friend’s home safe and warm. It is no ours but friends from our Bible Study class who called and offered their home for us to crash.

This is Monday and we had been without electricity from around midnight Saturday. Our temperature was 42 degrees this morning and had been that low since the storm hit. My wife is more sensitive to the cold, so we’ve been under covers, or shivvering for a long time On Sunday night we had a ton of covers on our bed.

Finally, we got a call from friends inviting us to come and stay with them until we got electirity home. Houston and surrounding area has a lot of the city without electricity. So there are long lines for automobiles trying to buy gasoline, or folks trying to buy breakfast. This morning the one place we finally found that was open, but a long line. When we finally are up to get served they were out of coffee!

I was supposed to get my second Covid-19 shot today, but it has ben called off due to the general shutdown due to the unusually hard winter freeze. Just Sayin…RJS

Sorry to hear about all of your distress down in your neck'o the woods... I've got the opposite problem with the water = barely any COLD water coming out of any valve in the "house" (I live in a 1 bedroom apartment). {I get just a wee trickle.}
