Been freezin' my koondingie off, waiting for it to get above freezing so I can at least wet the seals. We're having a smaller version of the typical Central Valley winter thermal inversion that's keeping things rather chilly. I remember when I lived in Madera County, about five miles north of the Ranchos (Road 406? - a short cut from Chowchilla to Hwy 41)and we could look south, above the fog and inversion - it was like living in the clouds.

Congratulations Gramps & Grammy, hope it all comes off w/o a hitch. Too bad it isn't the other "Clovis," huh? But then it puts you closer to us. Don't forget the "Cee-gars".

PS - Re those cigars - blue band, or pink?
