There may be a few sparks of life left in it, but it was making a more and more annoying noise.

So I implemented Plan B. (Plan A was for it to live till Thursday.)

I moved all the stuff in the freezer to the freezer in the garage.

And I shall put several bottles of ice in the fridge part to keep whatever is there cool.

I have more than a dozen (mostly) liter bottles of ice, which I prepared to keep stuff good post hurricane and subsequent power loss. They will come in handy now.

(And when the ones in the fridge melt, they can go back in the freezer for "recycling.")

Other than that, not a particularly outstanding day, although the Saints won. They tried to lose, but in the end they did beat San Diego.

I wonder if the Saintsations got to go also. I didn't hear anything that would indicate they did.

Watching live TV from London--how quickly times change. In the forties (after the war) my folks decided to call a very good British friend. Overseas calls were transmitted by a cable on the ocean floor. And they were not cheap. I seem to recall it was about $15 for three minutes. (At that time newspapers were 3 cents a day.) I wonder what that would have been with today's money. I think the daily paper is up to 50 cents--so that's about 17 times as much. That would be more than $80 a minute.

I think I hear one of my cats telling me that either she caught something or she is in imminent danger of starvation.
