I CAREFULLY made my way out to the car. I really wanted to get the ice off the door and start the car to melt the ice. However, there is a good half inch of concrete hard ice fully encasing the vehicle.
I HAVE a doctor’s appointment tomorrow afternoon in Austin. Do the car has to be drivable by then. I may try using a hair dryer to free the door.

THIS study is a resident of the apartments. She has about a dozen pieces on display and for sale. It is very eclectic group of at pierced. There is a large painted quilt as well as several large paintings of a single flower. Them the are smaller more abstract assemblages with bits and pics of items attached to a variety of background including one that is mostly drier lint. Nothing there was something that I’d want to own but I will give her credit for making use of her artistic talents.
