Reading the article we knew there was no way that playground burned down without help. Yup, the fire was intentionally set

I didn't there were already plans to replace it later in the year. They will try to get it done sooner but that doesn't help all of the children who want to play on it during our nice days.

I am super disappointed we can't do this with her. She, of course, loves going to the playground. Near us is a park with a few swings, very unexciting.

Dolly Parton has now written a thriller with james Patterson called Run Rose Run. I like Dolly. I think I'll pass.

Hello, DR Laura. How's the roof?

Watching the 1979 No Nukes concert performance of Bruce Springsteen. The DVD comes with a 2-CD set. Electrifying performance. Some of his songs never sounded better.

It's interesting to see the theater lit with lighters. What a throwback. Nowadays, they use their cellphones.

My day has wound down. Nothing new to report here. Well, I did get a batch of meds in the mail from the VA. That was nice.

I had only three spam calls today. Answered none of them.

If it was one of the guests who lurk here, I was not amused.

Lunch was a grilled cheese sandwich with provolone and cheddar.

Supper was a 5-oz. filet mignon. Mighty tasty.

Taking a brief writing break, which is basically all I've been doing this day. I've done twelve pages and will definitely do three more before I write the notes. I did end up not liking the approach I took so I spent a huge amount of time figuring out how to change it to the other approach - revising, rewriting endlessly, until I finally got it at least to the right place. It read pretty well. Normally, I never do that, but I had to in order to be able to write the subsequent chapter. It was maddening but I'm glad I used the this other approach as it works much better for the story and how it unfolds.

Our "s**w" event today turned out to be a nothingburger. I'm not sure the East Coast will be so lucky.

I am counting on that nothingburger event to confine itself north of me. By five miles due north would be fine.

I know that if it happens here, it will be tomorrow night into Sunday morning.

I have Sunday Brunch plans, thanks, and don't want no stinking freezing rain on the roads. I do have a four-wheel drive pickup, but I have never used the four-wheel drive feature.

I will if I have to, though.

Me, too. Time will tell.

Terry Teachout, drama critic for the Wall Street Journal, has died. I can't say I was a fan of his theater criticism, but I did like his biography of George Balanchine.

Right now I am more concerned I don't have a cold then the possibility I have covid. Actually that I am coming down with a cold. I still feel as if I have allergies, the kind that sometimes turn into colds.

Drink some hot tea.

A little rum in it, if you have it.

Put your feet up.

Don't go out without wrapping up and wearing sensible shoes.

Drink more tea. Add rum, if you can tolerate it.

Rum without the tea sounds better

There is a nice park in downtown Vancouver with a very nice playground. We have been looking forward to taking Freyja there. Keith just saw an article that the playground burned down on the 11th

Oh, no! That's terrible.

I just heard on the late news of a massive 11-alarm chemical fire burning out of control in Passaic, NJ. Turns out it is the huge chemical company that was about a block from where I lived in Lodi.

I would have slept straight thru until morning, except I had a dream that my sister walked into my bedroom and told me that if I was going to sleep all night, then I had better turn down the heat.

Weird dream, but it did wake me up.
