NO SWEETHEARTS

THIS VALENTINES DAY

You know those little heart candies

with messages printed on them,

like BE MINE and I LOVE YOU?

Well there won't be any for sale

this coming Valentines Day.

The company that has made them
for years and years -- Necco --
went out-of-business late last year,
and no one has taken over.

Oh dear!

VISIBILITY ZERO

Our recent melting snows

and warmer weather

created heavy fog

And very dangerous driving.

Soooo . . .

Nice and easy does it!

BYE BYE SNOW

Warmer weather

For now.

Weekend forecast

SAVE THOSE 

CHAMPAGNE CORKS

Next time you twist the wire off

and pop that cork from your

Champagne or sparkling wine,

save the cap and wire.

And turn it into a mini

ice cream parlor chair.

Nifty trick, huh?
