Shame On Us

Have you been following the situation in Flint and in Detroit? Honestly, I don't get it. We send billions of dollars all over the world, and not all of it for humanitarian purposes, while people in Flint have been drinking water that's poisoning them and several of the schools in Detroit are in such bad shape they look like they need to be condemned. I appreciate that we help other countries, we should be. Every country should reach out to others when in trouble. But I don't understand why the American Government (federal and state) hasn't focused more attention on horrific problems inside our own country.
What's your take?

The Weather Outside Was Frightful

Early Friday

Skylight in the Cave

Friday P.M. still have power.

Sat A.M. Still have power. Whew.

Sun. We lucked out. It hit 50 degrees and the snow is melting.

Philly Saturday. Not as lucky. 20 inches.

Weekend

Cat and Mouse

Detergent

Okay, it's not a sexy topic, but hopefully helpful. Then again how many sexy posts do I have, not too many.  Hmm, maybe I should rethink that, but back on topic. We bought this box of detergent a year ago, give or take a week, and have just finished it. Given the cost of detergent, I think this is amazing. And I like the product. It does a good job, for us, and hasn't left streaks.

Happy Birth Day
