The Evil Storm of Doom hasn't gotten to us yet. But when it does, the temps are suppose to drop 20 degrees (and stay lower for a while).

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Interesting tidbit from the recently released stack of CIA files:
Some anecdotes reveal just how far outside the law some C.I.A. agents strayed. One technician was arrested in 1960 after trying to bug a Las Vegas hotel room. The operation had been requested by Sam Giancana, the Chicago mobster, who was then helping the C.I.A. in a plot to assassinate Mr. Castro.
Mr. Giancana had been concerned that his girlfriend, the singer Phyllis McGuire, was having an affair with the comedian Dan Rowan, and surveillance was ordered to “determine the extent of his intimacy” with her.
That's Dan Rowan of Rowan & Martin on Laugh In.
Wackiness!!
The salespeople are telling me that pretty much all the mattresses are no-flip nowadays, even the non-pillowtop ones. Is that right?

It's dropped down to 80 now.

I'm sick, sick, sick of everything being damp.
Now it's 78!

What does that even mean? Weird.
They told me that "most mattresses nowadays are one-sided only, so you really can't flip them, just shift them from top to bottom occasionally."
Ours is no-flip, but that's because it's a pillow top.
There's a blackout in parts of Manhattan. (Not the part I'm in right now).
