55 and blackberry winter here, too, Buppies. Should see 64 when the sun peeks out later.
Mo, glad you had a good trip to Little Rock. I like cities about that size, too.
PJ, with a fence that nice, you need some sheep like Eric!
Mostly, sorry your ride got rained out.
Just got back from my mom's after an unplanned night there. Drove down early yesterday and took her to her favorite seafood restaurant on the Bay. Late in the day we headed back home and got stuck in terrible traffic...then couldn't find a single gas station with any fuel. Took 45 minutes to make a 4 mile loop back to my Mom's while our low fuel light came on.
We really messed up...we were late leaving home on the way down, so skipped getting gas, and unfortunately my wife had been in a hurry the day before and didn't fill her tank when running across town with our soon to be DIL. We were so busy with company over the weekend that we hadn't followed the news, so wondered why there was a long line at the one gas station we passed on the way to lunch yesterday. Well, we found out the hard way. Apparently everybody else had heard about the hacking of the Colonial Pipeline that supplies gas from Houston to New Jersey. Then our governor declared a state of emergency, which caused many people to leave work at the same time and hoard gas, like TP.
Last night I learned that the GasBuddy app not only shows gas prices but whether the station even has gas...so I downloaded it on my nearly dead-battery phone at 5am and found one WaWa station with gas that I could get to (on fumes)...taking a risk that the app was correct...not sure I'd have enough gas to return...at 6am they already had a long line. Filled up and felt better than a kid on Christmas morning.
Once we got across the bridge tunnel and out of the cities, we took some back roads to pick up Coco at my son's house (who we called last night and asked to feed and give pills) and found about half of the country stores and town gas stations still had gas...and no lines like down in the city.
Lesson learned, again...always fill up and hit the bathroom before getting on the Interstate.
Looking forward to a nap after not sleeping well on my mom's couch.
