Barry,

 BM> Some stuff just doesn't make sense -- or at least on the surface.  I've
 BM> ordered stuff and had it delivered in two or three shipments --
 BM> sometimes by two different companies.  Sometimes is because two
 BM> different suppliers (Amazon and an Amazon store) or one warehouse has
 BM> one item and another the other item.  Also have had split shipments
 BM> because I ordered batteries: some/all have to be ground shipped.

  Well, I did get all the stuff yesterday, but had to wait all day for it.
The same today for one printer ink cartridge. I think next time, I'll have
the groceries delivered through the app, and I'll go pick up the printer ink
cartridge myself.

 BM> "Rather windy" here last night: winds up to 30 MPH or so (and it's not
 BM> even March!).  Today (Tuesday, February 7) supposed to be breezy during
 BM> the day and then windy again tonight but not as windy as it was last
 BM> night.  Thursday morning they're talking about an inch of slushy snow.

  There was a severe thunderstorm to my northeast Wednesday evening, with
some storms nearby during the day...otherwise, it was just rainy. Most of
the severe weather was in Mississippi...again.

 BM> Good.  I'll admit to probably being a little overboard with emergency
 BM> lighting around here -- some of it was "well, while I'm doing this
 BM> upgrade may as well add this".

  You never know when the power will go out. I guess if you're in Atlanta
when that happens, it's "The Night That The Lights Went Out In Georgia". <G>

 BM> Wouldn't have been so bad if they limited themselves to heartburn but
 BM> nooooooo: they had to go all they way!

  True.

  I saw a deal today, where this lady who was in a Burger King commercial
at age 5, was sued by McDonald's. Apparently, size does matter (the burgers
at Burger King were bigger).

 BM> They could summarize the Post Office "through rain, snow, heat of day"
 BM> with "We keep chuggin' along!".

  That's debatable. I'm going to make a much needed Post Office Box run in
the morning.

 BM> So the good news is with the 'squirrel-proof' transformer we now have a
 BM> lot fewer critter-related outages.  Don't think the power company will
 BM> replace a transformer "just because" but LIS it was determined the
 BM> original one was nearing the end -- sooner than normal because of the
 BM> excess times being shorted out by critters.

  Makes sense.
