Do tell! What is so bad about Sparrow that you don't want her to even live in the same town as you.

But send the info as a PM so as not to offend her. I am assuming that she is quite horrible and vindictive.

going back to the main reason I started this thread, here is a link to a report from NOAA talking about the upcoming winter

When they put it on the cover of that book I insisted that they not show my face. I am, after all, very modest.

I see that!

Didn't correct the "horrible and vindictive" bit I notice.

Anyhoo, the reference to Woking is because that was where Wells set 'The War of the Worlds'.

More concerned for his safety, as the martians have already landed in Woking!

(HG Wells lived there, and the martians landed just outside of Woking)

Only the worst can be expected, I'm afraid. Are there a lot of missing pets where you live?

As I read thru that site I recalled living in Minnesota. They advised carrying candles in your car incase the vehicle ever got snowbound. The idea was to crank down a window a bit and light the candle for a little warmth when, or if, the engine died.

As cold as it got, though, I always wondered how well that would work. But as they would mention it each winter I suppose that it must be better than nothing.

I actually always have two "survival" candles in my luggage when I fly
