66 year old with a bone dry basement. And it was built into a rise.

I've been blessed owning two Pittsburgh area homes, one built in 1955 and the other I live in now in 1956 and both bone dry with no additional work since construction (that we know of). Both finished.

Back in 1997, I shared a Midway Airport shuttle with a guy who worked as a research meteorologist at the nearby Argonne National Laboratories. I asked him about global warming and he said he wished people wouldn't use that term at this time. What he said would happen was that we would see wild swings in weather and more severe storms. The overall temperature would increase but the main indicators would be unusual temperature and precipitation extremes. When you look west right now, the snow and cold is absolutely unreal for LA and parts of the high desert. People point to snowstorms as a contrarian indicator but what were seeing now is right on target with what he told me would happen. Everything he told me back in '97 is happening now.

Oh get this - Friday night I found a stinkbug on my freakin' pillow! Now I'm going to have to check for the damn critters every night. But yeah, February and the ticks will be awful this year.

I'll be the wet rag here.

This is ominous.

Amen. But I do miss the dining out experience.

The Stack'd I went to in Gibsonia had one really nice seating area with booths but my wife and I were sat in a lower area that had all the vibes of an East German cafeteria.

Geez. Can you say which store and how long ago?

Yeah I can't imagine Iggle security pulling the weapon over penny ante shoplifting unless, well, someone started shooting in there. I'd hate to think that's the reason but the way things are nowadays. . .

White Oak has one too and that kind of surprised me.

go a little farther and hit White Oak with Scozio's bakery. It's a bonus to that location.

Willlburrrr!!!!
