Visiting New York for the holiday where the high was 44 while in my home city in So. Calif. had a high of 77. Chill factor and all, I’m wearing winter clothes that sat in the closets for years. I’m just not used to this.
I get sub-30°F temperatures every year and I'm still not used to it! 🤣

Weirdly Random from Mr. Dylan:

You walk into the room with your pencil in your hand
You see somebody naked and you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard but you don't understand
Just what you will say when you get home
Because something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
You raise up your head and you ask, "Is this where it is?"
And somebody points to you and says, "It's his"
And you say, "What's mine?" and somebody else says, "Well, what is?"
And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"
But something is happening and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
You hand in your ticket and you go watch the geek
Who immediately walks up to you when he hears you speak
And says, "How does it feel to be such a freak?"
And you say, "Impossible!" as he hands you a bone
And something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
You have many contacts among the lumberjacks
To get you facts when someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect, anyway they already expect you to all give a check
To tax-deductible charity organizations
Ah, you've been with the professors and they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well-read, it's well-known
But something is happening here and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you and then he kneels
He crosses himself and then he clicks his high heels
And without further notice, he asks you how it feels
And he says, "Here is your throat back, thanks for the loan"
And you know something is happening but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Now, you see this one-eyed midget shouting the word "Now"
And you say, "For what reason?" and he says, "How"
And you say, "What does this mean?" and he screams back, "You're a cow!
Give me some milk or else go home"
And you know something's happening but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?
Well, you walk into the room like a camel, and then you frown
You put your eyes in your pocket and your nose on the ground
There ought to be a law against you comin' around
You should be made to wear earphones
'Cause something is happening and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Jones?

I hope it's appropriate to post this type of thing here, I didn't see a section in QQ for TVs...so...I was happy to get Dolby Vision display capability in such a low priced TV.

How I get surround sound: Sony Blu-ray player set to downmix to (Dolby) surround -> Element TV HDMI input -> Element TV stereo headphone output -> stereo receiver -> Hafler/DynaQuad passive decoder.

Well that was my dumb. Anyone would have a well stocked liquor cabinet for emergencies, and a generator!

We have two four wheel drive vehicles and two generators: the main generator is an automatic whole house Generac and we have a backup 2000va Honda portable. The liquor cabinet has been well stocked for decades...with all sorts of stuff that I don't drink. 🙏

And remember Boonie, I seek out places like this....
