Oh. Thanks. So this is special.
I cleaned my studio last night. Well, not totally, everything, but I got a surface clean done on my desk. That was the mnajor bulk of the mess. Dishes, a week or two worth of unopened mail- still unopened.

But it was the ashes and cigarette butts that were making me crazy. I went to empty the over flowing ash tray and one thing led to another and bingo. Up till 3AM with the bottle of Windex. I figured, "What would my mom think if she walked out here?" So I just did what needed getting done three weeks or so ago.

Interestingly, we had a warm front move through about 1:30AM, took the temps from about 40 to 51 before I was done. Strange, right now it's back down to about 40° But calm and still outside. Still about 30 minutes away from dawn.

Man, I really do not like winter, I like my day light. We can have all the snow and slop from Mid Dec to Early Feb, and I will not complain. Just last year we broke an all time snowfall record. I think it was 164" or something like that. Beat the old one(surprisngly I think they said '81 or '84. But it was only by about six or eight inches; after that, it drops off to the 120" range for third worst. We already got 3" a few weeks ago, mid October. Was gone the next day. But at this point, every dayI see grass is one less dayI have to contend with the snow.

BTW, Good morning. Next is the key board. I have to remove all the keys and soak them in some soapy water.

P.S> I still haven't went any where with my keys on the laptop. But it's not thatbig an issue, I sort of know where everything is by now. But still can't type w/out looking at the keys. I doubt I ever will.
