New Truck Windshield

We were pretty much held to home while waiting for the guy to come and replace the truck windshield.

I took a stone on the truck windshield while traveling through Virginia over a year ago, and it cracked all the way across the lower part of the glass in January when we had a freezing night while in Las Cruces, NM. I should have had the "ding" repaired right away, but never got around to it. The new windshield was totally covered by the glass coverage on our insurance policy so it was more of an inconvenience than anything else.

The guy showed up at around 11:30 AM and it took him just over an hour to complete the job. Everything looks good, so we're set to go again.

The big topic of conversation around here yesterday was the huge jackpot for the Powerball Lottery. Of course, we bought a few tickets and when we heard that one of the winning tickets was purchased in Arizona, we rushed to check the numbers. Alas, it wasn't one of our tickets. You can be sure that if it were one of ours, you would have already known. We realize the tremendous odds are against winning, but at least there is a chance when you buy a ticket.

The rest of the afternoon yesterday was spent going through magazines while sitting on our porch and enjoying the fabulous weather. It is really difficult to beat this weather in the winter and to think that it still goes to 80 degrees on the first of December is incredible. With only one day of precipitation since we arrived here in mid October, we'll take it...
