There are no pics this week.
The Northeast got hit with a major snow, but we here in Columbia were lucky. We had several inches of very wet snow, which quickly froze into sheets of ice. Everything was shut down one day. After that, Danita and I stayed home, but roads were open. By Friday I was riding. There were three incidents where a sheet of ice flew off a car going down the highway, and crashed through the windshield of the car behind them. Drivers were hurt, but nobody too seriously. Today the temperature was up in the 50s, with almost all of the snow melted.
We had a marvelous weekend. We started with a neighborhood St. Patrick’s Day dinner Friday. There were plenty of potatoes, cabbage, and corn beef. And there were a few more American foods. And plenty of beer and wine. The desert cake was very good.
We just got back from a Baltimore Symphony “Celtic Celebration”. They had singing, drama, and those women Irish dancers that swing their feet around and hold their hands down by their sides. Everything was very good; the dancers were unbelievably fabulous. Afterwards we walked to a creperie. The place turned out to be set up mostly as a sidewalk stand. There was a very small indoor area with some bar stools and a shelf. We were lucky and got to sit. I enjoyed my crepe immensely. Danita said her crepe was good but she wouldn’t go back.
Just about everything around the house is working. The E-car is running fine. The level 2 charger is a great success. Toilets and sinks have shiny new ball cutoff valves with Batman water hoses. New smoke detectors grace our ceilings. The bike is back and it’s running fine. With a little bit of luck, we’ll even have our fire suppression sprinklers inspected tomorrow morning. There being nothing left to do around here, it must be time for a road trip!
We’re taking the car train down to Florida Tuesday. We’ll spend a few days with Mom. Then we’ll drive home, stopping for 2 days in Jacksonville, Savanah, Augusta, and of course Monroe, NC.
That’s all for this week. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
