Record highs with some places nearby hitting 87 F and the overnight low at 70 F will also be record setting. Record highs again tomorrow. Cool spell with rain Saturday and Sunday.
Charlotte was off at 9 a.m. to sewing. Today she continued fusing the T-shirt squares. The large are about 17" x 17" and the small about 4" x 4". There are a few more large to fuse and the small have to be cut in equal sized squares.
The internet was miserable again this morning. It took a few hours just to do the routine tasks of emailing and banking. Again - a provider, not a park problem.
Charlotte was back a bit early. It took me just a few minutes to finish making our dinner: Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes; Baby Sweet Peas and Ground Chuck Hamburger Steak.
The noon news had the usual (for down here) round of drive-by shootings, homicides, convenience store robbery videos, Interstate closures due to accidents, vehicles hitting buildings and drownings caused by vehicles \(for unknown reasons) going off the road into the water.
The rest of the country has blocked Interstates due to snow, ice, floods, avalaches and landslides. Down here they effectively close the Interstates by accidents. Last night closure for several hours was caused by a pickup going the wrong way. The crash killed 5. Accidental shooting of the day: Mom shot daughter; mistaking her for burglar.
The other big news item was unexpected health bills received by "Fully Insured" clients. In Florida, unlike some other states, hospitals are not required to inform patients that they are being served by "Out of Network" providers. Health Insurance companies only pay fees for service providers that are listed "In their Network". Otherwise, they only pay a very small portion of the charge.
Even if you have read the "Fine Print" and ask, an "In Network" provider may not be available. In an Emergency you may not be able to ask, or have a choice. So much for "Full Coverage" insurance! Imagine getting a $10,000 unexpected bill for emergency ambulance service (one example given). Anybody get the feeling the insurance companies aren't working hard to close this loophole? (grin)
Watched more Bette Davis B/W and Hitchcock classics this afternoon.
Not a particularly good TV night down here - maybe a movie from the collection to end the evening.
