Thank goodness for the warming up and the rain.
These followed our first snowstorm of the season,
and the rain did a first-rate job of melting much of the snow.

Meanwhile, up in the Merrimack Valley,
beleaguered Columbia Gas,
faced with literally hundreds of residential customers
who don't have their houses and kitchens back
in time for Thanksgiving holiday family feasts,
has contracted with I don't know who
to provide FREE THANKSGIVING DINNERS
to the afflicted families. Sheesh.
