Hey there Elizabeth, @ess77 on a good cold afternoon. So sorry, I assumed you had followed me around the world. The incident with the too-tight surgical wrap happened when I lived in Idyllwild, CA at 6,000 ft, above Palm Springs, not New Mexico.

I think you thought I was there right then. And it would have been quite cold in either NM or 6000 ft up the San Jacinto Mountain above Palm Springs.

Just one more item that I think will keep me in the running for the prize. Today, at 3 pm our thermometer is at 11 degrees. Better than 7 degrees this morning. And just so it is not a surprise to you today......I now live in Minnesota on the Mississippi River. We live above the River on what we call Adams Landing. I have attached a current image of our yard. Lots of snow and too cold for critters. I have been teasing a ruby red cardinal this afternoon. He wants peanuts.

May you live with ease.
Chris
