It's a little dark in here, but . . . they are silver with silver sparkles on the ends.

Really pretty Chris. But I can see how it would be a learning curve to type with them.
Not a good idea.
Yup! They prognosticating temps in the 30s with rain and freezing rain. Makes for an adventurous drive to work, or anywhere, for that matter!Morning greetings, everybody!
Well, it was really, REALLY cold last night. Every digit on the thermometer included a minus sign. I spared my partner on one flight and sent the oiling to Chicago. Those lazy sops brag about how they never pour oil into an airplane. We get stuck with it because the flights are going over the pond an have to be topped off. In addition, lots of machinery fails, switches, valves, pumps, and lots of little things, when it gets this cold. It's supposed to warm up again today and the next couple of days. I sure hope so, I'm getting tired of having to break my dog loose from the icicle every time she pees.
I'm so glad that Gracie and Mr. G seem to have found a place to keep them busy doing things they like to do, instead of battling ant invasions and bleaching mold.
Everyone, stay warm, keep your eyeballs from freezing.
I just checked your weather, GW, and -1f at mid morning. That indeed is cold though even in north central Kansas we could have days that it never got above zero. Fairly rare there though. Probably not so much in your part of the world. But according to Accuweather you should be above freezing at times next week. So just stay warm for now.

There's a name for that pinkish glow of setting (sometimes rising) sun on snow, it's "alpenglow". It's beautiful here when we get the alpenglow.Well, we have a ton of snow. It stopped temporarily and supposed to pick back up. It is a weird kind of pinkish color because the sun is beginning to set and it's reflecting off the snow. We are also supposed to get some more snow this week (maybe Wednesday - not sure).
As a side note, I went and got my nails done this morning before the snow got too bad, and I'm having a really difficult time typing with them. Lol. That's not good news considering my job is typing. If I can't get used to them, I'm going to have to cut them down or something.
Arrgghhh!!! The horror! I cannot imagine doing my job with such claws! Mechanics typically have trimmed, if not well-manicured, nails.It's a little dark in here, but . . . they are silver with silver sparkles on the ends.

We've actually gotten only a moderate amount of snow. The cold prevents snow but fosters this crappy ice fog that adheres to everything. At least I can brush snow off of things. Ice fog is like a coat of frozen paint. Yes, Virginia, it does indeed get too cold to snow. Lucky you, if you don't have to go out and push all that snow off that stuff, though.I think we got like 15-18 inches so far in the last couple of days. That's just a guess by looking at it on my part.

Well, it's dark out now, but I turned my outside light on and tried to take a couple of pictures. My outside trash barrel and table.

Best of luck finding the perfect place!Just checking in to make sure everyone is okay, been particularly busy around the house slowly getting things ready for the eventual move and spending lots of time checking out home listings trying to find that needle in a haystack........ Went for a drive yesterday, up through Alamogordo then Corrizozo to Capitan, Ruidoso then back home. We both love the Capitan/Alto area and even Tularosa...... Too bad employment options are limited, might have to look at "online" jobs or self employment options if we want to live there.
Meanwhile..I am sure glad he does not live in Oroville!!! That is about 10 miles or so south of us.....and we are up higher. Lucky us!
The buttons are like a new model car. Changed out on occasion to make it seem more new or valuable. A button telling posters to shut up is certainly more objectionable than a disagree. Of course the funny button had two meanings now. As far as disagree goes, I can be disagreeable without a button.
Yes. There are a few numbnuts who follow me around outside the Coffee Shop, especially in the structured debate zone where they are required to be civil, and like to put a FUNNY on everything I post there. And yes, I take that as a thumbs down, but as C_K said, they boost my trophy points every time they do it. And it is not offensive to me and doesn't feel negative. So it's all good. However, that kind of childishness is what prompted C_K to add the "funny and agree" button that many of us find useful.
And "funny" in the Coffee Shop rewards those who are genuinely encouraging us to laugh on purpose.
I can even do a 4:1 exchange rate.
