Coffee anyone ?

Went out for anniversary dinner last night. I ordered the "Heritage Porkchop" -- It was DEELISH - I mean the best ever. So of course I had to ask "...what breed?" (thinking yeah right the regular diner asks this ha ha ha) it was Mangalica -- OMG it was the best. $$ but now I know. LOL should've asked if they were interested in local lamb!!
Was a member of the 3:30 club - but then I thought heck that's nothing 'cuz the rest of you all were either at 5:30 or 6:30 so what the heck was I going to complain about .
Got a notice from the power company, they may be shutting power down Monday-Wednesday -- "severe wind event". I'd rather they shut things down than wait and see. Is it a pain - heck yeah, but it sure beats the alternative. We choose to live here so we have to bow down to Mother Nature as needed.

They could always put the lines underground, but that would make too much sense.

Actually they are - with all there is it's a huge job but it's ongoing. This is something that they have been doing since the Witch Creek and Cedar fires ('02 and '07). That and also replacing old wood poles with metal poles. LOL if this was LA county nothing like this would be done. SDG&E learned from those fires and of course the associated litigations. They are very pro-active, thank God. It's not a cureall, because it happens, but they are ahead of the game compared to LA. And - the water company is routinely replacing underground pipes before things break. Pain when they work a section for miles because it snarls traffic on our 2-lane twisties - but that's life.

Colored sheep aren’t selling? What do they want? White?

Local breed Klub gossip may be an issue. It’s been taken over by a couple who have had a history with me and several others. They may be stand up people today, I hope they are. I left the club years ago tiring of the politics, fees and generally just getting no benefit from belonging. Ironically the couple has purchased rams from me through proxies for years knowing I wouldn’t sell to them. I don’t know what they do for papers. Another reason may be a shallowing gene pool in my area. Color may have a bad reputation. Enter Racka. If the horn genetics kick in and I can get rid of the fleece there may be another variety of PDS. Cold here 17 tonight.

Watching Houston news. We are doomed! Travel will be impossible! Stay home! Homeless please come to heat shelters! Schools are closed! It’s going to be a pipe busting hard freeze!

Note: no advice to turn off water and drain pipes. That pretty basic common sense.

I’ve got water off, water drawn up in house, a big black tub outside that I can bust ice and dip water out. I can bring it in and boil if necessary. But it will only be a few days that it doesn’t warm up during the day.

I wonder what the grocery stores look like about now……

Everybody is probably going to get their blizzard french toast ingredients...and probably toilet paper too...because they're preparing for not cooking those eggs right? Maybe the meat will be out too, but that seems to vary.

I should take myself down there and hang out in shorts, flip flops, sun glasses and sun tanning lotion
