Well, that snow here stopped midafternoon, except for a slight dusting overnight.  Now its just cold.  (And no, I didn’t re-shovel the driveway. The weather service says it will be 50º on Saturday.)  OTOH, Cincinnati got 8 inches worth late yesterday (and Mark remains unheard-from).

Regarding things in Kentucky:

And for a smile: Patience-Please on coping with a house-full of whippets in a blackout:

I put every dog bed in the house on the floor in a semicircle in front of the fireplace. I piled blankets on top of the beds.  Very Old Dog, who will be fifteen in April, was nestled in with us.  Our dear young friends, Heather and Jason, were in our other front guest bedroom, also conveniently outfitted with another gas fireplace.  With them were their own two whippets and their most adorable toddler, Ben.  Their whippets, Edgar and Emmett, consider this a second home, since Emmett was born here, and both are frequent guests.  And you haven’t experienced cute until you hear Ben pronounce “Patience”.

At first, our dogs experienced an understandable confusion. Clearly the Big Bed was for them, and the Rags on the Floor were for humans....
