19/Jan/19 tell me you were planning on sitting somewhere else

Good morning Cape Breton.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home.

So the Big Guy is like super excited.

We are having a lot of rain in the upcoming forecast.  Even the middle of next week, it's just more rain.  

Now the Big Guy has no illusions that Winter is not done.  But rain makes him happy.  Snow, well... not so much.

But there is this area, it's about a 9 hour drive from here.  Actually, it near where I was born.  They are forecasting upwards of 60 cm of snow.  That's about 2 feet of snow for those of you readers that don't do the metric system.

We got a light dusting of snow last night.  Not even enough to put salt down on the stairs.  It will very likely melt after the sun comes up.

Yesterday, I spoke about these bundles of paper that was on top of the space heater.  Well they are moved and the space heater is in the living room.  Last night, after they got home, they turned on the space heater in the living room and didn't turn up the heat on the house.

Tonya said that it costs a lot to heat this big old house.  Which is true.  There has to be a better way.

But as you look around, you can see more and more windmills going up.  But they all have to be paid for.  They are not cheap.  Although they certainly do generate electricity.  Which means we have to rely less and less on coal to make electricity.

Again, first world problems.  They are real.
