Today was a cold wet day. Snow just to the south of us and when we got home tonight, it was raining with some snow mixed in. As I am sitting here I can tell that it is after 10 since the heat pump goes down to 65 for the night. I should have lit a fire when we got home. Hopefully Emma will be nice and keep me warm when I go to bed. She did pretty good last night until she passed some really nasty gas and decided she needed to move over to Dawnell’s side.
Yesterday I got the stereo in the Ranger. It is nice to have music in it. I am going to have to find the wires for the rear speakers because there is a extra pair of speakers up front that sound pretty bad, and it is not good to have all the speakers up front.
We had the van serviced today. A thousand dollars later we had 4 new tires, a transmission service and oil change done.
Tuesday I plan on going for a hair cut but I have no other plans.

As the world celebrates the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall nothing is said about these walls of separation.
The most current and controversial wall is that which separates Israel from Palestinian territory in the West Bank. A small portion (about 20%) coincides with the old Green Line border set in 1948, the remaining 80% are located on Palestinian land.
The Mexican – American wall being built to stop llegal Mexican immigrants, which will cover the states of Texas, California, New Mexico and Arizona. This wall is being built on U.S. land.
Slovakia has a wall to isolate a Roma camp in the city of Ostrovany.
See the Berlin Wall then and now here:
