A winter storm watch on Tuesday evening to Wednesday evening forecasted significant snow in our area. Pocatello got quite a bit of rain, Idaho Falls (this picture was taken out of a window near my office in Idaho Falls) got some snow. I’m hopeful that the mountains got a lot of snow! Another storm is forecast for this weekend. As much as I don’t like winter, we’ll take the snow. We’re definitely in a draught condition.

California has it much worse according to today’s newspaper. Most of our fresh fruit and vegetables come from California, so this portends bad news for our pocketbook later this year. If they don’t come in from California, then the fruit and vegetables will be coming from overseas carrying a serious premium in cost and deficit in freshness.

This supposed newspaper advertisement showed up in my Facebook news feed the other day. I have no idea where it came from, whether or not it is authentic, or how old it is. However, it sure brought a smile! There’s no area code with the phone number, so I’m pretty sure a lot of people with that 7-digit phone number in various parts of the United States got a lot of telephone calls to see whether or not the cat was still available. I suspect there might have been a few calls to see if the fellow was available! In any regard, I’d like to know “the rest of the story!”

Ta ta for now!
