it is sleeting now. yesterday morning between 6-9 a.m., there were 183 wrecks in Austin. an eighteen wheeler just ran over and killed two people (in their cars))...he was driving too fast. he's being charged.

i just talked to a dear friend, around my age, and we're wondering this, "why can't i just pull over and wait this out?" what ever happened to getting the "lay of the land and lying down"?

they are warning Austin motorists that a huge contingent of truckers are waiting in Waco and will be firing through there the first chance they get. shudder......eighteen wheelers are going off overpasses down on cars below.....shudder.....SUVS are rolling all over the place.

the inauguration of our "Ken" governor went ahead. they did cancel the parade.....kinda hard to visualize people falling and sliding and breaking things just for an inaugural parade that was costing $2M.

i made chili last night and am going to fire that back up......turkey chili. and just go back to the sofa and let myself lie admidst a sea of cats and dogs and throws and quilts and pillows and the remote.

angie, i will still look for a rosebud for you.........:-)
