Alerts! 📢

Alerts are going out far and wide! Even we in New Orleans are under an extreme cold warning; and that’s phenomenal for us. The real cold is about 48 hours away, but alerts need to go out early; people need time to get prepared.

I had planned to ride to Walmart tomorrow; but then I saw something in the online news about a Walmart store packed with shoppers trying to stock up. That’s made me change my mind! I don’t need anything from the store that can’t wait; so why try to fight the mobs?

I have yet to witness panicking folks fighting each other over scarce items; and I don’t want to see it. Even less do I want to get caught up in it. That’s why I keep a good stock of non-perishable food on hand. If a hurricane or horrific cold snap is on the way, I’m all set.

All Set ☺️

I’m trying to get all set when it comes to keeping warm indoors. I don’t have central climate control; and both heat and cooling can be a problem. I can’t put hand warmers against the windowpanes; but I saw something about using bubble wrap to insulate windows. So I’m trying it.

In addition, I think I’ll leave the window unit in the living room running Sunday night. Normally I turn it off at night; but I’ll need some warm air in there!

I hope we don’t lose power; and maybe we’re all set, because it looks there won’t be sleet or freezing rain. As of now, that is; but forecasts have a way of changing!

ABOUT ME

I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.

I live in New Orleans; and  retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
