About 5 or 6.

It was quite pleasant outside this a.m. here. I went out with Misty for her morning constitutional and only wore a light sweater. The cloud cover must be keeping the warm air from the earth trapped.

Today is errand day. I'll be going soon and talk to you all later.

It's Friday! Going to cut up a good car tomorrow . Drink some beer think about the next move . Hope everyone is warm . It's cold in Houston . It's about 38/40 degrees today . Should warm up a bit . Wanting summer back already . It's going to be a long winter for me . I hate the cold .

Hi Jacqui. Enjoy it!

Good morning all.

The UK suddenly got unseasonably warm. A few days ago I woke up to -6C/21F with frost on the ground all day. Today I have woken to +10C/50F (possible high of 17C/63F). This happened December last year and justifies our decision to fridge hibernate Joe for the first time this year.

Climate change is making our weather very unpredictable

Good evening Linda.

Wow! That warm? Warmer than Amman it seems. Here, maximum temp was 10 deg C and it's expected to drop to only 3 deg C with FROST formation... UGH!

Jacqui said:

Plans to take advantage of the heat wave?

It's anything but lovely when one is to remain at home.

I miss summer.

I love it when I can get to the camera in time to catch shots like this. What a great shot!

So, grocery stores. They buy groceries, produce, etc. and then they have to buy some sort of bag for the customer to take their newly purchased items home in. Cost of doing business, right?

"They" recently passed a law making plastic grocery bags outlawed. I can understand that, as they're not degrading fast enough when left laying around outside. So the stores don't have plastic bags anymore, but they still have paper bags. I went to the store the other day and was charged 10 cents each for two paper bags to take my groceries home in. They never used to charge for paper bags. The stores no longer have to buy plastic bags for customers' goods, so why are they now charging for the paper bags? They're actually saving money by not having to buy plastic bags anymore. Providing the customer with a means to be able to take their product home should be the cost of doing business.

I object! I most strenuously object!

There were two ballot propositions in California regarding grocery bags. One was outlawing plastic bags, the other was using the funds for selling bags for conservation. That is why they are charging you for paper bags. I'm lucky I'm a packrat and have hoarded plastic bags all these years! I just put a pile of them in the car, but I can never remember to take them into the store with me. As far as I know, you can still buy trash bags and they still provide the produce bags at the store. I wonder what they would do if you took a bunch of those up to the cash register and started bagging your groceries in them, lol!

About a year ago, they put the plastic bag ban into effect for awhile in LA. We bought a bunch of stuff and then were told we would have to pay for the bags. I can't bring myself to pay for a bag on principle so we awkwardly carried the stuff outside in our hands. Just outside the door was a pile of boxes the store was throwing away. We put our stuff in the boxes and took it home.

It was beautiful today. My thermometer said it got up to 81 degrees! It didn't feel that warm but it was definitely in the 70s.

@MPRC - I reicved my package Monday (Or was it Tuesday), but waited until today to open it as I have been busy all week and wanted a little something to look forward to.

Its a wonderful antique camera. Makes me want to find other antiques to go along with it. Thanks!!!
