Liz, You're my kind of person! I get soooooooo easily distracted, especially while on the computer.
I managed to defrost and organize the upright freezer last night, thereby earning the right to toodle off at first light in search of the mythical Sea Eagle that was allegedly seen near the slaughterhouse yesterday.
No luck finding the bird. I'm consoled by the knowledge that none of the other 6 birders who checked in tonight had seen it either.
Thick, smelly "fog" created by the pulp mills, blanketed the downtown on my return. Headlights which remained on for several hours while the car was parked at temperatures well below freezing, gave me the opportunity to meet another helpful tow truck driver. He needed to "tap" my starter with a very large hammer and wiggle the battery cables before the car would start.
Monday's task will be getting a new battery cable installed.
