TV signal

First post of 2009! Sorry it's such a lame one.

Does anyone else have Comcast cable tv and suddenly get no reception today? I'm kinda worried that it might be that digital switchover thing. On the whole I'd rather it were the weather. Or, like, just me.

Free stuff

All free:

Compaq Presario Laptop

Processor	Intel Celeron
RAM	yes
OS	Designed for Windows ME, comes with Puppy Linux and Xubuntu live CD
Condition	Old and slow with no battery, but still boots and run Linux. A bargain at twice the price.
Price	Free

2-Pot complete fondue set
Includes forks, 1 burner, fuel cups and 2 fondue pots.
Comes with 2 pots for 1.8x the fun.

4 Margarita Glasses
Useful for holding margaritas. May be able to hold other liquids, but I've not tested that feature.

6 Footed Dessert Glasses
Crate and barrel design. Holds desserts. May be able to hold other solids, though untested.

Reply if you want something and we'll arrange pickup near Davis. We reserve the right to bundle items, i.e. if you want the fondue set you might have to take the dessert glasses also.

Local Snowfall amount?

Does anyone know a website where I can find out how many inches of snow fell in Davis Square or Cambridge/Somerville.   I'm always wondering how many inches of snow I'm shoveling (or when I'm out of town) and whether the weather forecasters were correct. 

Happy New Year!

Rag recycling?

[lbmango.livejournal.com]

I have a lot of old clothes that I want to get rid of. However, these are clothes that... have seen a lot of use... They've got holes, and stains, and some of them are aged under-shirts...

The point is that I can't really give them to anywhere that would be trying to sell them or give them to people to wear. However, I don't want to throw them out. I'm sure that there are places I can give these that either turn them into rags, or paper, or whatever... Anyone have any leads?

Thanks.
