    Just idle curiosity on a snowy day, do any Orbsters have famous or relatively famous individuals living nearby? Please don’t reveal exact addresses if you know them, I’m not looking to “out” celebrities or cause their privacy to be invaded. Just wondering about the celebrity distribution system.

    The only ones I’m aware of near me are artist Charles Vess, who has won awards for his illustrations, some of which feature cats (I have a print of his “Midnight in the Grove”) and author Barbara Kingsolver. I have to confess that I’ve never been able to get into her books, but it’s nice to have a Pulitzer winner somewhere close by (I don’t know the location just that she lives in the same zip code, and probably would not recognize her if I saw her in public somewhere).

    O.T. Question for fun

    You are not a bad person! I’m sure even some of the passengers, now that they’re safe, will eventually find a little humor in the “hanging like bats” situation. Maybe not the ones of the type that keep their seat belts loosely fastened, or start unbuckling their seat belts as soon as the runway is in sight. I’ve seen these on nearly every flight I’ve been on, and suspect that at least some of the injuries were caused by this.

    Here in SW Virginia, today’s high will be 39°F. Lows for the next few days in the 20s and low teens. Tomorrow, my PT day, looking at high of 32°F and 80% chance of snow accumulating 1 to 3 inches. I might skip therapy. Yes, I do have a Subaru, but the tires are getting old and AWD doesn’t work miracles on ice. And won’t save me from the kind of idiot drivers that we see in the freeway medians during these events.

    Everybody stay safe and warm!

    Oh, I did, after a couple of years of increasing b.s.

    We had a -20F day here back around 1984. My car wouldn’t start because the oil froze up (it was fine after it thawed out) and (maybe TMI) all of the little hairs in my nose instantly froze with a tiny sizzling noise, the second is walked out the door. I called in to work and they actually wanted me to walk to work. About a mile, and I had no suitable shoes or clothes for such weather because they didn’t pay me enough. I declined and since nobody could be bothered to offer me a ride, enjoyed a day at home close to the radiator. Of course I was labeled as “uncooperative”.

    And everyone else—respectfully, no politics here. It’s too much of a temptation for me. ; )

    I’ve given up trying to convince Partner that he can wear any color socks with white sneakers, but white socks with black sneakers are a no-no. But most of his socks are white. And dingy because he wears them in the house without shoes
