Out of the Blue - Blue's News Story

It appears we may be lucking out on the weather in the area of the BlueTower today. Yesterday the forecast suggested we would be buried in snow today, and the HOA mailing list was abuzz with talk of preparations for digging out. But after a dusting this morning, this ended fairly abruptly. I thought this might just be a temporary pause, but an updated weather report now indicates we're to expect 0.2" of accumulation at most. That's fine by me. I like my hamburgers medium rare, but this well done nothingburger is a treat.

Obituary: Ginny Redington Dawes, 77, composed memorable ad jingles.
