APtravelnews-March, 4th, Crossville, TN.-The word from our other neck of the woods (we are snow-birds, FL. winter, TN. Spring, Summer, Fall) is that tragically, 30 people died from the recent horrendous weather TN. has experienced. We got our power back at the farm rather quickly after the storm almost two weeks ago, many other thousands have just now gotten their power back. Most people have electric heat and it was quite a drain on folks to just stay warm. Well, Gore was right; climate change and the heating of the planet Mars is now on-going! Whew! Many, many people would have wished he was correct about earth this past week.

One thing for sure, I’ve heard  from my talking horse, Miss Kitty, that Barb and I have enough downed trees and limbs on our farm to keep our two chainsaws busy for a month. The benefit side is we do burn wood, the downside as we are getting a bit older now is cutting wood and stacking it warms you twice; when you cut it and stack it and when you finally burn it! But, that’s OK! This is how I get some great exercise and lose that weight I gain when eating at restaurants for this website.
