Snow

Susan, it appears we’re finally going to get the freeze predicted for last night. It has been about 35 most of today. It has been a few degrees warmer down where Bill is. It did freeze and there were icy roads to the north about 25 miles and beyond. Most of the people who volunteer at the eyeglass recycling center live in that area and could not make it in today so we were closed for the first time in years. It has just started raining and the weather report just now showed icicles on a house about 15 miles north and sleet moving in from the west. We’ll see how it goes. You’ve sure had more than your share of winter up there–we can’t complain but we will because we just aren’t built for it here.

Stopped in this afternoon at a new little used book store in my neighborhood. I have always loved used book stores. I did see several authors recently mentioned here–mystery writers, Grimes was one, Haissen, a couple I can’t recall now. I was tempted but didn’t buy–yet. A couple did were larger print than some I have but not “large” by description. I wonder if publishers are using a little smaller type now than in past years–could it be that the problem isn’t altogether my old eyes but the print really is smaller? I need to look at some of my older ones and see if that really could be true.
