January 15 – Seat heaters, engage! My TDI spent the night outside; unlike its ancestors it started and ran without a hiccup.

January 16 – it was still only 7F when I left work Monday morning.  I caught this shot along the Plum Island Turnpike.

A NOTE FROM THE MANAGEMENT:  My apologies if you have been getting blank photo posts.  I just discovered that somehow one of my Picasa settings had been changed to Private.  I could see the photos but no one else could.  I’m not sure when/how it happened, but I’ve been having an awful time with the new Picasa interface imposed by Google Plus.  Google, do you hear me?  I want the old Picasa back!
