Don't know if you Island People get much of the American Weather reports over there but Beefalo NY took a terrible beating with a bomb snow storm. Numerous deaths because emergency crews couldn't get to strained people in their cars or homes. They are finding bodies in snow banks of people who were out walking in it. All roads had to be closed to local traffic for days until they could get them ploughed enough for emergency vehicles to get out. Even the large snow plough trucks were having to get rescued. People were running out of medicine in their homes and with the hydro out, wouldn't be able to run their gas or oil  furnaces or even any electrical heating. Some people who had portable generators killed themselves for not venting them good enough and died of Carbon monoxide poisoning. Their water pipes were freezing up and most people wouldn't know that in cold weather to stop that from happening you have to keep a tap open and water flowing through the system. Tommy will correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure they got up to 4 Ft. of snow mixed with very strong winds. Question for Tommy. Did you get a chance to use your Generec power system to keep you going?

From my research, I saw quite a few Spode Royal Crown Derby 1820's patterns.  A lot of them look to have a lot black in them and some with garden-type designs.  Beautiful pieces all.  


I looked up the Webco, Shultz & Dooley steins, too.  They would look wonderful on the shelf.  I couldn't trust myself to drink from any vessel that cost more than my maximum number of beers.

When I was in Munich some 45 years ago, I took the opportunity to buy a few old and beautiful Steins. I had them in my garage because I was having extensive work done on my house. I forgot about them for quite a long time but when I remembered them and went to look for them they had disappeared. I also visited Belgium about tha time and you wouldn’t believe how many different beers are brewed there, each with its own diffent glass. Again I asked the bar owner for some and when I came to leave the bar owner handed. me a big bag full of them. Despite a hundred barby’s and untold parties, with unruly mates over the years, I still have a few left.

Today is a repeat of yesterday.  I'm learning that on hot summer days, recliners aren't just for old men.

We had a hot spell last week, up to 32C in the south, down to the mid 20s now, but forecast to go up into the 30s again next week. Needless to say far too hot for me.
