Thanks T'horse,

But I already made the change to 50%G/50%F, because we are having a massive PC changeout and I'm scheduled today. So I might not have a PC at the noon time decision.

Man yesterday sure left a mark. Hopefully I'll get some of it back today.

You got me beat. Currently +1 here with 10" of snow on the ground. Could go a bit lower since we haven't seen sunrise yet.

Yeah most of the snow Ohio has gotten this year has just stayed north of use for the most part. You Brownies have been getting it bad this year.

You better get out the long johns because it is coming your way and it sucks big time. I don't like this kind of cold!
 
I have had to turn the Heat Pump on when the water in the bird bath freezes! We arn't used to the cold weather down here, if it drops below 40 degrees that's bad, if it drops below freezing we stay home!!:D:D:laugh: View attachment 5439

We enjoyed a nice 84F day yesterday in Los Angeles!! We own two parrots, an Eclectus and one Amazon and they sure don’t like getting cold.. The Amazon is an excellent talking parrot and really keeps us entertained. I have uploaded a video of him on my facebook, but shoud put it on you tube, lol....:cool::cool:

I read Part 1 of the following links and found that I lost my patience and got caught up in all the hype and everything. Part 2 came out today and though I don't agree 100%, he seemed to make a lot of sense and for us to have some patience. I hold less equities now than before, but still am buying thru our ROTHs. I look for a down year, but will continue to add thru the ROTH's.

Excellent read CB

What no one wants to hear - but everyone needs to know.
 
I'm not one to write a blog or even have the ideas that others can say so eloquently, but I thought that I'd put these thoughts down and see if Tom thinks it quailifies, quality wise as potential blog material.

If not, no big deal, it'll be just the ramblings of an old dinosaur that just worries about the direction our country is going and what kind of life our children and granchildren will have.

"A Touch of Reality and the American Dream"

Why all the optimism by the press that the stock rebound is just around the corner? From where I’m sitting, the psyche of the American people has taken a major blow to its confidence. I know growing up as a kid, most of us, were taught that if you went to college and worked hard, then you’d be able to retire and enjoy your golden years. Well that dream has been shattered, and regardless of how we got here, we’ve arrived anyway.

With the GDP, being driven by the consumer at the rate of 60% to 70%, I fail to see why there is so much optimism. We, the consumer, have seen our retirement and other investments take a beat down and until the American people are able to repair the damage, the economy will continue to stagnate. Will the infrastructure stimulus package help. Probably a little, but I think it’ll take to long to get into the system. We must do it ourselves and hopefully the Government will not be an impediment to that good old fashion American work ethic.

We are a great country, that’s why everyone wants to come here. Why are we great? We are an optimistic people. This is the country, where a person’s dream and hard work, can turn him into a success. That’s why we are an optimistic people, but until we rebuild our financial future, reality’s ugly head will be facing us eye to eye.

We will come through this, as we’ve come through other tough times. We’ll be a different country, but hopefully still a democracy. Hopefully, our Government is up to the challenge to rebuilding the psyche and confidence of the American people without destroying that dream that made America great.
