Flippin' cold

 I woke up at 8:30, having gone to bed at almost 1. So, perfect. 

I read a bit of the book "Angry White Pyjamas" about a guy studying aikido in Japan. It's a lot better than I thought it would be and very readable. Another Little Free Library find. 

I can't stay away from those things. and generally what I do is take the books either I want to read or the used book store ought to be interested in. I clean 'em up and take a couple bags full there from time to time, take the money and run, over to the little free pantry on 7th where I think it's supposed that people have no interest in reading, and put them there - not back to the little free libraries I got 'em from, in front of the houses of the prosperous. 

We're having freeze warnings overnight all week and I guess this is our winter this time around. I even checked the winter solstice (shortest day of the year) and it's the 22nd, after which the days at least will start getting longer, if not warmer for a while. 

I'm emailing back and forth with the Evil Rich Old Aunt but I'm beginning to sense it's not worth it. She's about as pure American as they come, by which I mean she'd rather cut her hand off than give a starving person a sandwich, and probably voted for Trump (while saying she didn't) because "muh taxes". 

I've kind of been thinking when she kicks out she might leave me a bit of her millions but I think of she leaves money to any of us, it will be the evil burn-witches-at-the-stake Christian one, and most likely it will be her evil daughter (who was actually a rather nice person when she was young, but that seems to have been beaten out of her). In other words, there are a lot easier ways to obtain a windfall of money.

The once and future cornet

 The reason I dug the Connstellation out and replaced the errant screw and put in new water key corks is that last week I'd gone by Park...
