Good grief--it snowed! The forecast was for light snow and it started that way, but I just got up and it looks like about a foot on the ground. There had also been a strong wind, but it looks calmer now.
Even so, we decided to hazard a walk. Piled on most of the outer clothes we had brought and set out. I made it about a quarter mile, then said, "hell, no," and went back. She went on and walked for a half hour or so.
Nevertheless, we had planned to go out to dinner--to the vegetarian/vegan restaurant (authentic Indian, I think) and set out about 4:30. It was still snowing, but the roads weren't slippery. We got to the place to find it closed, drove to another--closed--and finally decided we eat home and we did.
Our landlady called re my companion's text about setting the temperature for the heat. It was finally remedied and we're now cozy. Watched a movie with George Clooney and Ryan Gosling, about politics. It was pretty good, but for some reason, the Internet failed and we didn't see the ending.
One of the many reasons I love living in Ventura is that it doesn't ever get this cold. Darn, we had been planning to go to Taos yesterday (the Georgia O'Keefe museum), but had to scuttle that. Earlier, we went out to some thrift and consignment shops, but saw nothing we wanted. Stopped at Albertson's to augment lunch, but languished inside a lot of the day.
