No news is good news, and I haven't heard anything new about my Arizona son-in-law's condition. My daughter said she'd let me know if his condition changed. And I know she will. So there will be no need to keep bugging her for updates, as many relatives and friends will be doing. Betcha her phone never stops ringing.
Lee, as for "What’s the going rate for kids to shovel these days?".... Our drive appears to be similar in size as yours. The 2 kids wanted $15 to shovel the drive, the porch and the walkway up to it. Kathi ended up giving them $20.
I've got to admit K2, I've never known anyone that had a spare water heater just laying around. Now that's a treasure-hunt; Patrolling all the drug stores near you picking up a backseat full of masks. 
"My only experience with NASCAR was while I was in the service". Damn Bill, they had NASCAR during the Civil War? 
Happy belated 47th wedding anniversary, Nancy.
I see the computer gremlins have eaten another one of your posts, BB. Sucks, doesn't it?
KC; How do you manage not to have orphan socks pop up from time to time? This is why I try to always buy the same brand and style of sock. But every few years the manufacturers change styles. Close, but different, from the ones I've been buying for years. (Yes, leftover turkey is the best.)
Single digits here this morning, with a high of only 15 for the day. BUT, no new snow forecast for today or tomorrow.
Nothing really planned except mill-around-smartly today.
