Charmed life
Jan. 20th, 2010 09:41 pmWell no, not me. But Harvard apparently has a weather charm. All day there's been a freezing rain advisory, with mixed rain, snow, sleet, and freezing drizzle predicted for the darkness hours.
Pavements in Harvard remained dry. They were still dry when I left work at 8 pm. Four miles south of town though, the ice begins. The rain was freezing on the windshield, the road was slippery. It continued to worsen all the way home.
I was surprised to see the price of gasoline go down all of two cents in Harvard today. Now it's at 2.85. So I checked when I drove through Marengo. Yup. In Marengo it went down three cents, widening the spread between Marengo stations (now at 2.66) and Harvard to 19 cents a gallon. Distance from one to the other? Less than 15 miles.
Gary got his hurdy gurdy back from the repair shop in Michigan today. He had used a large rigid plastic cooler as a shipping crate and they returned the instrument in the same crate. The mail delivery guy said everyone in the post office wanted to know what kind of musical instrument (it was flagged "Fragile Musical Instrument" on the outside) needed to be kept refrigerated.
