Thursday - The Weather

Although the weather was alright when I woke up it had been decided that schools were going to close today because of the weather, so the Senior Centre was closed too, and there was no Kiwanis.

As forecast though, the weather got bad as the day wore on.

The storm was moving from Dallas through to Connecticut.   Arkansas had it quite bad.

 

 

We haven't had any power failures here yet.   I keep my thermos filled up with hot water.

My television woes continue, although it has been alright today.   I had a technician out Tuesday and Wednesday evening because the reception has been so bad.  He said it was probably due to the fact that they were working, but they would not be working today and tomorrow due to the weather, and the picture has been alright.

 I was asking why we had to have all this inconvenience and chaos, and he told me that the Federal Government had told all the cable companies that they had to change from analogue to digital before June 2014.   The technicians working on it are all subcontractors who have come from other states, they're not from round these parts.    I think it is a government scheme to get people working, and the employment figures looking better.

I finished my little crocheting project I was working on, I'll take a picture of it tomorrow.   As it is now Advent I'll be changing my decorations - putting away the autumn things and getting out the Christmas.

I rang Phyllis this evening for a natter, she lives outside Shawnee and surprisingly had been out and about, visiting the sick and needy, but is staying in tomorrow.
