Winter is officially here - snowed all night which mostly melted. I just tossed last of the front yard leaves in the alley dumpster, so I'm ahead of the curve on that. Flop Ears and I didn't mess around too long this morning. She sniffed around a little, did her biz and right back to the truck. On the way home, saw one of our cops struggling to stay awake in his last half hour. He's probably glad he'll avoid all the slick street collisions day shift will see.

And it is a little slippery in spots, so now that I'm home that's where I'm staying! Put smoked turkey wings in the crock pot last night - they'll go in ravioli with white sauce for dinner. Wifey had all the stuff for chili setting out which will last her several days. None for me - I don't like onions! All the house mouse stuff is done - trash is out - dishes washed so the dog & I will be quiet while she sleeps in. SW
