Has anyone heard from Musical Comedy?

It looks like she hasn't posted since October 16th.

MC, I hope you're OK and just taking a break!

Thanks for thinking of me. I appreciate it.
I'm fine. Well, as fine as an old lady can be in cold weather on farm when it gets dark at 4:30
I'm spending my free time doing stock market trading and following all that's going on in politics.

Oh good. Seeing this post worried me. I'm glad all is good. I'm thinking of learning to become a more active trader as I get older, too.

Good to hear from you! I hope the Arctic blast isn't taking too big a toll.

Hello from balmy Idaho. We had our arctic blast in October...it has been warm (50's-60's) and dry ever since.

I hope the cold resolves soon.

Hello MC! Be sure to balance out the politics with good horse times

Stay warm. I am literally dragging myself to the barn after work to ride under the lights. After 15 minutes of walking (mare in a quarter sheet), we are both a lot happier and willing to do some work. It was a relief today to ride outside under sunshine in the fields.

Oh dear. It is dark at 5 here, but I'm still in shorts every day. Thankfully it hasn't started raining here because I need to finish getting my "pasture" (huge paddock) prepared to stop the mud this year. It was a mess last year. But no rain now could mean we're heading into another drought year. Sigh.

I hope everyone else is staying warm. It seems like such hard work to keep horses in such cold weather.
