Description
Nothing artistic here.... Just the main reason I've not been around much the last few days.
Just took this photo a few minutes ago. This is the current ambient temperature in my studio here in the basement. This basement has always been somewhat uncomfortable during the winter, but for some reason this winter is the worst ever. Another big reason we want to find another place to live - with room for the studio UPSTAIRS.
I've tried those little portable room heaters - totally ineffective. All they seem to do is pop circuit breakers.. The problem, of course is it's the basement. Warm air rises, and cold air is heavier and descends. And of course the basement is the lowest part of the house. I added a second furnace vent back in 2017 while refinishing after the flood. But it doesn't help much - if at all.
I know 50 degrees doesn't seem all that cold, but... I'm sitting here wearing warm-ups, a heavy sweatshirt, thick socks, and a fairly heavy robe. And I'm still freezing. My hands are pretty much numb at the moment.
Anyway, enough of my whining... I'm still working on things on the laptop upstairs, but I do have to come down here for the Photoshop machine, and a few other things. So if my activity here is a bit spotty for the next week or so, that's why.
Hope everyone's doing well, staying safe, healthy, and WARM! 😉

50 degrees is outside temperatures, I could not imagine trying to live with that inside. I hope it warms up enough for you to head back into the studio.

I remember when you posted this. (It would be great if you had one of your TNA women sitting in the background, encased in ice...) And yeah, 50 degrees is COLD. People who live with indoor heat all winter think 50 is nothing, because they can bring it up to 78 in minutes. But ask anyone in warmer climates---where they don't have central heat: 50 degrees is freaking cold! Imagine what Texas was going through last month...
I'm glad you can work upstairs, because I'm sure the basement is frigid in these circumstances. (Maybe you should have a photo of YOU encased in ice...c'mon, that would be freakin' funny! "Don't worry, I'll be back! I'm a little hung up right now...") Be happy all your electronics are cool with cold temps: You don't have to worry about losing them. Also, Climate deniers say "it's freezing now---so, so much for your global warming theories!" Not so fast, trumpers. That warming allows the ice cap domes to expand and seep down the planet ike hot fudge seeping down scoops of ice cream. (Boy, what a cheap image!) You're more up on scientific matters than most of us, so I don't need to explain. But I wish I could get it through the trumper's heads that frigid vortexes are BECAUSE of global warming, not despite it. Anyway, sorry for your freezing basement. Our high rise was way warm, but I'm on a high floor. I think it's great that the photo in your background here has a home with no roof, lol. Somehow that's perfect for your predicament.
Rod, once again I've spent an hour on 4 measly comments---I write LONG in your gallery (and spend time viewing). I have to do other things before I go to sleep. But I'll do more before the weekend's over. Always a pleasure. Your artistry shows in everything you do.
