We had an abnormally cold night, and woke up to -4C (25F) yesterday morning. Almost a record low for this area. Some of the campers had frozen water lines, and a copper line that runs on the outside of our office building had split. Things warmed up quickly though, and soon that split line was pouring out water. Easy to turn the water off to that line, and I fixed it later in the morning.

I arrived back in Sacramento a month ago to find a notice that my gas meter needed to be changed. I had heard about some scam in which a different kind of meter is installed that is supposed to be more efficient, but has been unsatisfactory to those...
- What A Day!
I was having a nice leisurely morning, after an unsettling night, and decided to take a long, slow shower. I had just applied a big blob of shampoo and had my hair good and soapy when the water went off. Too late I remembered receiving a notice...
