Sundays with Sundance

Well, the winter storm was not as bad as predicted. The best news was, despite the ice storm portion, we did not lose power. Tom was able to get the snow blower working well enough to clear the drive, but he will have to take it over to Reedsburg tomorrow for real repairs. At least for now they are not predicting more significant snow for the coming week, although it will be cold. A low of four (4) degrees midweek.

So it was another day couped up in The Lodge. I finished re-reading Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time, a mystery built around King Richard III and the death of the Princes in the Tower. I think you have to be English to care about this, or a Shakespeare freak. The point of the book, though, is that there are all sorts of things about "history" that we take for granted that are simply not true, but pointing this out never seems to change anyone's mind, even when you can prove it with overwhelming evidence.

Sigh.

The cats, meanwhile, are a bit stir crazy. Sundance was very whiny this morning, but she seems to have gotten over it. It takes them a week or two to realize that winter means not much outdoors activity, not even bathroom trips. They have begun using their litter box, but I suspect for cats it is always a second best. Sort of like a Port-a-Potty. Given a choice, one always prefers a real bathroom. Or in the case of a cat, a real yard.
