[AquaticLife] Who Was That Masked Man? Thanks Dr. Tim!
Sounds like I need to move to the ‘dirty’ south as you so put it Lenny 
We have had intermittent rain in between snow so there’s now ice under snow and more snow is coming down. There is easily 3 1/2 to 4 feet of snow out there, and much more in piles (so tall you can’t see over them even in a vehicle, LOL). I’m so jealous of that 73F
