Ah

 

Who says cats aren't smart? That lump of fur is Millie, toasting her tummy in front of the wood stove. Pretty much in position now until spring. 

The temperature is zero in Twisp this morning and it won't get above freezing today. Seattle is also colder than normal. We're headed into a long dry weather pattern all across the state, which often means air pollution near the surface. Just watch, it will probably start raining and snowing again just in time for the Thanksgiving  travel week. But too soon to start fretting about that.

We got our flu shots yesterday at Safeway. I never look,  but John thought she used larger gauge needles this time. Maybe they're cheaper for these "free" shots the government supplies the pharmacies.  I should ask Amanda. Anyway, I have a bruise on my arm but otherwise feel OK so that's good news. Thirty years ago, if someone said we would be going to a grocery store for shots, I would have thought they were nuts. 

By anyway, that's done and Safeway gives us a coupon for 10% off groceries for each immunization. Better than a lolly-pop, especially this time of year when we're stocking up for holiday cooking and baking.
