Something I've not seen before here in AZ...

Looking out, I noticed the pool looked odd this morning, went out
(7:40AM, presently 30°F)...

A thin skim of ice on the eastern half!

I heard that they had significant ice storms in Texas that brought down
power transmission lines. There was one account that South Texas was getting
electric power from Mexico till the lines were fixed.

We lost phone service in Austin, on Wednesday, and had to patch into
the Mexican phone company, Taco Bell, for a while.

Hey, better be nice to Mexico, and Canada too, because after Obama and
his companion progressive/socialist loons in Congress get finished
decimating every economically viable energy source in this country
we'll be begging them both for power.

We may have a better chance with Mexico since 2/3's of their
population will be up here by then and we can appeal on the grounds of
servicing their own nationals.


We'll need a lot more grease racks to service them. I hope we have
enough spare parts! ;-)
