Notes - the Spooker cornered / winter yard / Tesla / GMG Stats 7,8,9 /

          Mid-morning. You woke up to two to three inches of snow on the ground and it is still snowing. The morning paper was in an orange wrapper but buried. Carol retrieved it but you haven’t read it yet. She took Donna’s paper to her and Donna told her that Jared would be over after the snow stops to use the snow blower. You’ll wait until he’s done before blowing your own.

         1033  hours. Here is a photo from my chair out the front living room window. The Christmas tree is bare ready to be taken apart and boxed.

While you are adding pictures why not add one of more relevance in the modern world. Earlier when you looked at the photo (below) today as you placed it on your Facebook page you thought of how it may have been in the early 1900’s to see the first ‘filling’ or ‘gas’ station pop up in their era of horses and buggies. – Amorella


New Tesla Electric in Kenwood Centre

         1151 hours. It is true. I thought that when I took the photo 31 December 13. It was a surprise to see when I drove to the Apple store for the Airport Express. Who would have thought Testla would put a station right there in the Kenwood Towne Centre parking lot, under cover no less. I have seen four or five Teslas in the area in the last few months. Hey, I can say I lived long enough to see a part of the future firsthand.

         The snow continues. You placed Chapter Nine in the Final Word document as well as in the Final Page document, thus automatically in iCloud for safekeeping. Later, dude. – Amorella

         1226 hours. I feel better now that the chapter is secured. I like this pace because it has been long enough since I wrote the earlier version that I can better edit/tweak it presently. Now I need to ready the next three chapters for finalizing. Aggh! I forgot to do the GMG Chapter Stats for 7, 8 and 9.

         This includes the Story Mill software also, boy. – Amorella

         1415 hours. Jared arrived and did most of the driveway but I volunteered to shovel the turn around extension, about four by twenty feet and our front walk to the porch. Even that was more difficult than I expected because the snow was wet and heavy (4 inches) and there was a mushy iced bottom layer of about an inch itself, even heavier. It took three to four shovelfuls to go the four to four and a half feet straight on, plus it stuck to the shovel. Am I getting older or what? It didn’t help my carpel tunnel either. Next time I’ll run the machinery. We’re done for this snow in any case. Supposedly we have another round coming on Sunday then next week for a couple of days the high is supposed to be 8 degree (F). Snow is pretty; especially when it sticks on the bushes, tree limbs and most anything else hanging or standing outside.

         You had a very late lunch at Panera, then a quick stop at Kroger’s. While there you filled in the Stats and here they are.

         1635 hours. The main streets are becoming quite icy. I am glad the driveway and walk are shoveled; it is supposed to get quite cold tonight. We needed milk, bananas and Klondike bars (how would we ever survive without one form of ice cream or another). Story Mill to do, but it appears to be becoming of somewhat less value at this time.


         Drop it then, boy. If we need it before sending in for publication we’ll still have it. Post. - Amorella

         Here are the top ten monthly blog stats in terms of page views. I really don’t know what this actually means for this work-a-day blog but it is interesting. I do know from other sources that most page views are accidental or not what the reader was looking for. Still, I feel I have between 10 and 20 readers who check the blog from time to time. I’m fine with it. Thank you to those who have some interest, even if it is helping you learn English as a second or third or fourth language - rho
