Went to Gelson's and tried their spicy salmon - a minute-thirty in the micro - it was pretty good and there's not much that's less fattening than salmon. So, I'll have that again. Not too spicy, either. Listening to Lukas Fess's Griffelkin, written for NBC opera theater in 1955. I wonder if any of those broadcasts survive, given the fact that Amahl did.

I planned to watch Tonights the Night  again but something came up,

[vixmom]

I’ll try on Sunday

[George]

I'm out of Facebook jail!

Hoo and Ray!

[George]

Loved the photos, DR George.

Thanks, Sing!

[George]

Hi, Vixmom.

[George]

What an ordeal, DR elmore3003.  Glad it's over.  And ~~~VIBES~~~ for good test results.

Ditto, Ditto and ~~~Ditto!!~~~

[George]

Looking forward to a veritable cornucopia of whirlwind ketchup posting on Facebook today.

I actually don't read through my Facebook feed.  I just go through the notifications.

[George]

DR ChasSmith:  Where's Moses when you need him?

[Jane]

Well, snow is still covering everything, but it doesn't look like it's been snowing for a while.  Hopefully, my car won't be so frozen that I can't get into it in the morning...unless my building is closed and I don't need to go in to work.  I'll find out in the morning.

I didn't have to go to work today!  Four day weekend!

Nice. 

And my car wasn't frozen.  I actually went out for a bit.

Does your car normally freeze at these temps?

My door lock can, but I've never had any trouble starting the engine.

That is better.  Don't they make gadgets for quickly thawing a door lock?

[George]

George was work closed?  I just read schools here are closed and we don't have much snow.

It is icy out though.  Alas, I don't dare walk in case I fall.  I really don't want another surgery.  I was jealous watching my neighbors head out on their walk.

Yes.  I've been home almost all day.  I did go out for a bit, but just to drive through Taco Bell. The driving was not bad at all.

[Jane]

It is still snowing here.

[Jane]

I am not sure if our driveway was ok to drive.  Fortunately we plan to stay home until the snow stops and everything is plowed and shoveled.

[bk]

I’ll try on Sunday

Hope you can. We may do a Q&A after.

[George]

George, KOMO News was just outside your office door, showing what the snow was like in Tumwater!

Cool!  Too bad I missed it.  I'll record KOMO's 11:00 pm broadcast, just in cast they show it again.

[George]

I watched the news story on Facebook & saw the library.
https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=773677480199218&ref=watch_permalink

Thanks for the link, but that's the Washington State Library, not the Timberland Regional Library where I work.  But actually, that is just about a block from where I live!  It was hard to tell where he was because his video image was reversed. 

[George]

With the roads open I guess DR George went to work today.

Nope.  Pretty much all of the library branches were closed.  No work again until Tuesday, and by then, most, if not all, of the snow should be gone.

[George]

One of the advantages of living in an apartment building is radiant heat. Here it is, below zero outside, but I am sitting here in shorts and a t-shirt, not having the heat on. In fact, we never turn the heat on all winter, because the heat from neighboring units is enough to keep the place comfortable.

There is no radiant heat of any sort in my apartment. No insulation, lots of draughts. But it's affordable. Yesterday I was viewing one-bedroom apartments in Santa Monica online. Starting at $3000/mo. I find that a bit steep. My house payments used to be half that or less.

$3000 is a bit steep?? Yikes!  My mortgage payment is a third of that!

[George]

I guess as they say...location, location, location.

Darn.

[George]

Why?

Couldn't be worse than the animated version.

[Jane]

George is it still snowing?

[George]

With the recent weather being rather decent, with a mix of extra nice day, I have been averaging 20,000 steps a day.  It has given me the incentive to keep walking today, except my feet really hurt.  I have to be careful as I have had episodes where I had to crawl on the ground because I couldn't stand.

Oh, no! 

~~~Feet-Don't-Hurt Vibes for Jane~!~~~

[George]

George is it still snowing?

I think it was earlier, but I can't tell now.  It's too dark.

[Jane]

Thanks for the vibes though they aren't needed.  It is nothing new.

[George]

My door lock can, but I've never had any trouble starting the engine.

There are gadgets, but my remote actually works to unlock my car when the physical key lock is frozen.

[George]

Jane and Tom, this video was taken by the KOMO guy a little later, and he says that he's at the corner of Capitol Blvd., and Israel Road, which is where I live!

No real worries then

It won't open on my tablet. I am looking forward to watching tomorrow.

Nope, not at all...unless I forget to bring my remote with me.
