Winter Storm Watch... Finally!!!
It’s finally coming. Winter’s coming for real. I’ve had the snow shovel out and hidden behind a bush in the front yard for months. Nothing is worse then having to clear snow by hand to open the shed to get the shovel. I have animal friendly salt at the ready (don’t laugh, the stuff works better then the real stuff and doesn’t make the birds that come to the feeder sick). I had a feeling that this storm might be for real as the birds have been at the feeder in mass for the last couple of days. They seem to know that food will be hard to find soon. I’ll be up early to clear the snow from the feeder on any morning that it’s covered. Few things bring the joy that sitting by the fireplace with the blinds open, several inches of snow on the ground and the birds from everywhere chirping outside, and the cats in the windows watching it all like a good movie. I’m sending Simmy out to stock up on a few things for the house, for that just in case the power goes out thing. We are gas for heating, stove and water, so even if it does go out we just won’t have lights, cable… or computers! Might have to break out the cards or board games. Mostly likely jump in the car with a camera and head out taking pictures to send back to Florida. The Subaru would handle it, unless the snow got packed hard enough that the tires didn’t touch the ground.
Here’s to the possible winter storm that I have been waiting for!!!

Geek TV Talk
Geek TV Talk:
I have found to my joy, that there are several TV shows running that provide entertainment to my liking. The quick list that comes to mind contains:
Battlestar Galatica – a full featured Sci-Fi, must see each week
Stargate SG-1 – campy fun Sci-Fi, better since Ben Browder, formerly of Farscape, has joined the cast.
Stargate Atlantis – some camp, more story
Surface – humor, light weight story
Invasion – X-files with a much lower suspense level.
Threshold – gone but not forgotten. Good story line, to easy enough for the general public so was canceled
House – sideways thinking and medical. My only other must see. Even like the reruns.
Grey’s Anatomy – somewhere between ER and Scrubs.
24 – good story line, but just not what it was in the 1st season
Monk – good, simple whodunit with comedy, easy to watch
Numb3rs – Today’s FBI meets a mathematician. Great to understand just how math can be applied to everyday life. If this had been on when I was in school my grades would have been better in math.
Best of all for TV, my DVR. Never am I glued to a schedule to see my shows. TV when I want, if I want.
