Functioning again...

alexpgpIt was bloody cold yesterday, and with the local heating in the house being what it is (the stove consumes prodigious quantities of wood, but releases little heat into the house, while the electric heaters drain the bank account) it was an evening where one picked a place to be - I selected the bedroom - and stayed there.
My plans to put things up on eBay came to a grinding halt when it turned out that a low ink cartridge in the Epson printer/scanner basically disables the entire unit (i.e., since you can't print, you can't scan), so from that perspective, not going to Durango was a mistake. However, given that it snowed for much of the day makes me happy I didn't go, despite the fact that there wasn't really much snow to speak of. (On the other hand, the bird feeder, which is under an eave, was plastered with snow on the exposed side by late afternoon, which tells me the snow was being blown sideways for a while, there.)
Moreover, it stayed cold enough for the snow that had fallen on the car yesterday to remain there and freeze into a challenging accumulation of snowy ice by this morning, which took me a long time to hack off (especially since the heater doesn't work in the car).
There's not much time for navel-gazing today. I have a short assignment to do - ASAP, of course - and I've got ink cartridges on order for delivery later today so maybe I can post some items on eBay today (come to think of it, a 7-day auction might go better if it doesn't expire on Easter, as one might argue that lots of people might be traveling - or at least be out of the house - next Sunday).
Is it really after noon? Wow. Daylight really is burning!
Cheers...
