What to Watch Today

  • Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
  • Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
  • Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

Good morning! Thinking, should it be coffee, tea or hot
chocolate this morning? Decisions are never easy. 🙂

Good morning Angelin
Weather is so cold for so many. I would pick hot chocolate right now.
Seems we both have heart issues. No heart attack for me…..AFIB and CHF.
EKG yesterday shows I am in AFIB now. Going for out patient procedure tomorrow.
IV infusion to help with fluid retention. I am very weak and have breathing problems.
Please keep me in your prayers. 🙏

I certainly will, TEA. Know your physical strength is suffering
and hope the IV infusion helps, bet you have great inner strength
so keep that up. We find out what we are made of and no doubt
you have what it takes to carry on one day at a time. Will be thinking
of you tomorrow. Blessings, TEA.

Thank you, Stasia. This is crazy, I can’t swallow pills unless
it’s with chocolate milk. I try and be good and use low fat. :)

Good morning everyone 
Winter storm gone, but all the snow remains.
We got 6″ of snow and sleet here in PA.
Snow is like a block of ice…..can’t be removed. 😔
Hope you are all safe and have power. ttfn

Hello Ardyth.😍 Storm is gone but it will take a long time for most states to recover. Our doctors office and schools are closed today. We will be home sweet home all day. I do have cardiologist appointment tomorrow.🙄

Good morning! Sorry the snow is frozen. Is the sun
coming out today? It’s beginning to melt here but
will be very cold tonight. Very little snow, mostly sleet.
Never lost power. Your seeing a cardiologist perked
up the ears. I am also under the care of one. Hope
your appointment goes well and be super careful
tomorrow. 😘

Sorry to hear that, TEA. Managing heart disease is
tough. Did you have a heart attack? We are sisters
in CHF. Diagnosed back in 2022 after a heart attack.
Two stents. I’m thinking of you and wish you the best,
from one heart friend to another.

Wow…..-21 degrees at canal. I guess I can’t complain at 11° here in PA
We are expecting 8-12 inches of snow, sleet and ice into Monday morning.
