Wednesday evening

Now what exactly is Arial Narrow??    I wish that when I clicked on the font the font would appear on the bar as how it will be seen.   This would eliminate a lot of unnecessary steps.  Another mystery is how this font disappears mysteriously in the change of paragraphs.

Went to see the stock broker.   We jokingly call him The Teflon Man because he is so smooth.   He is one of those people when you are talking to him he is perusing the room to see if there is someone more important to run off and talk to.    He also has a perpetual  Cheshire Cat smile.   We do get a charge talking about him after we leave.  

It was freezing arse cold in the city today.   I woke up about 4 AM and thought the house would blow away.   What I really was surprised about was the fact that the electricity did not go off.    I was waiting for that.  For the electricity to go off in the dead of winter is really unbearable.   About ten years ago the electricity went off during a storm in the middle of summer.   It was hot and sultry; and remained off for three or four days.  I got tired of that rather quickly.

  It was like living during the 1900's, before the arrival of AC and you couldn't even use a fan.       We had the throw away all the food in our refrigerator and freezer.   The upside was that the stove and the hot water tank are gas powered, at least I could boil water to make a cup of tea.
