Black outs, round 2...

We are in the middle of our second rolling black out this morning. The weather is nastier than yesterday - colder with gustier winds. When I went out to the truck this morning, there were little "flecks of white" on it.

Little Izzy had a vet appointment this morning for her annual checkup. The vet's receptionist called to see if we needed to cancel... schools are closed, many businesses are closed, some roads with bridges are closed, and it sounds like the causeway to South Padre Island will be closing soon due to expected freezing rain. It ain't pretty out there.

We kept the vet appointment; little Izzy wore her sweater. The vet staff made a fuss over how cute she looked. I was wearing a sweater and a winter coat - nobody said anything about how cute I looked.

I covered our water connection outside, put the lower unit on the boat's motor in the water, put a trouble light in the boat cabin to generate a little warmth. Now that we are back home, it will be a good day to sit under a blanket, read, and eat some comfort food. ;-)
