I had a short pallet of porcelain floor tile in the back of my pickup and was entering a green light intersection when a city vehicle ran the light from my left. I simultaneously leaned on the horn and stood on the brake - I couldn't stop but I at least slowed enough that I missed hitting the pickup. Both driver and passenger looked startled but they probably didn't know how close they came to being killed. Don't overlook the start and stop times when you're transporting a heavy load, books included.
Finally, after years of not finding a satisfactory battery, I have ordered a replacement for my 10-year-old Vaio. It's the backup computer here, it lives in the kitchen, and is always plugged in because of the old dead battery. With a new one it will either be more useful here or will be eligible to be sold (though removing the content from a hard drive in a laptop is a big fuss - maybe keep the drive and tell the buyer they must install their own HD and OS?)
We're back to cool weather - and the temperature wouldn't be a problem except it's the wind that makes it not good for continuing the outdoor work I started this week. This isn't your snow and ice, this is just inconvenience to a fair-weather gardener, who has daffodils in the garden and henbit in the lawn.
