Boy I missed my internet. Had 5 inches of snow Saturday followed by 5 hours of ice. Trees and tree limbs down all over southern Maine. We had no power for 42 hours , even though I'm in the middle of the biggest city in Maine. I had 4 big 15 foot tree limbs come down in my backyard , but they missed the house & garage. So much for springtime , LOL.

Glad to hear your house was spared from the trees! That would not be pleasant.

I'm not sure why now but I was just watching an interview with Jean Stapleton yesterday.

Jean Stapleton

Jean Stapleton (1923-2013) says of All in the Family's approach to topical issues, "There's nothing like humor to burst what seems to be an enormous problem. Humor reduces it to nothing and wipes it out. That's what humor does. That was a great part of that show in terms of every issue, but...

Back when we laughed instead of being offended. I guess I'm a "boomer" now days.
