There's a major gas leak in Falkner.

We have no heat. We have no stove. We won't have heat for the rest of the night.

It's cold outside.

Very, very cold outside.

This is the opposite of good.



But then, you know what? We could live in Mexico, where it's oh-so-cold right now, and there's myriads of poor, poor people who have nothing, or in another cold third world country where people have no heat or good food or even enough blankets. We have so much, even when we have less than usual. And I can only say, "thank you, God," and gratefully add another blanket to our soft bed.
