“Fire and ice”  came to mind as the title for a blog message. The NBC-Today program was preempted by local news addressing our snowy, icy traffic conditions. Preempted… so I didn’t see recent reports of fires raging in Southern California (my long-time home).

My December electric bill, what will it look like? The weather is so cold; my propane furnace doesn’t work. Gratefully, I have the benefit of a “heat strip” with the air-conditioner, and a space heater. My feet feel like icicles!!
