important progress has been made

this year the cheap champagne has a stopper that you twist one way to open the bottle, and then you can put it back on and twist the other way to recork the bottle. Somebody should get an award for that. I don't think it worked that way last year anyway....can't really remember that far back....not so cold today, not freezing at sunrise for a change....but they say a cold front is on the way that will take us back to freezing for a week or so.....8 plus 3 is 11, so that is when the Rose Parade comes on here......the black-eyed peas are slowly cooking.....
