Another Ice Storm and another Hitler

Ice storm. School cancelled. Elmira dental. Ianniq to Clearfield. Took back library books, saw Joe F, and the talkative TSS Jim D. Lowe's for breakers and saw Jack R the electrical shop teacher at Votech. Walmart and saw Tom M. Roads were a lot worse with about 4 inches of icy slop over the streets in Clearfield.

Apparently there is a 3 yr old in Easton, PA, who is named Adolf Hitler. The local grocery store bakery refused to decorate his birthday cake,but Walmart did: http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Walmart-Taking-Heat-for-Adolf-Hitler-Cake.html His parents said they wanted to give their kids names that nobody else would have. Hello? I'm pretty sure somebody already used that name about a hundred years ago. It's too bad the original Adolf did such a royal job of spoiling the name for the birthday boy.

Spent the afternoon adding some electrical outlets in the master bedroom. This is always a challenge in an old house, but everything worked out pretty well in the end. It took me longer than it should have though.

Watched "Beowolf" again today. I enjoyed this much more than I expected I would. Excellent visual effects bring this dreadful old English poem to life. I give it a solid 3 stars out of 5.
