Sad to read that the house got burned, but rest of the story refreshing.

Looks like potential elder abuse. Adult protective services should investigate immediately!

The original houses in the area are from the 40-s and 50-s. They were built with very simple electrical wiring and usually one plug per bedroom. Life those days required a lot less things to plug into the walls than today. I would imagine that house has beenbadly in need of an upgrade. Too bad the widow of a man that co-founded a major industry and later owned a business has to live in these conditions. Did her husband sell Body Glove too cheaply? The money should have been enough to keep her in comfort for life. The present owners seem to be quite comfortable, right Les?

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Aquarius

Be careful now, because you could easily give someone the wrong impression and not even know that you're doing it. This is most likely to happen if you're trying to pussy-foot around them or avoid offending them, because that's when things could get lost in translation. You also have a tendency to sit on the fence now, which could make you seem slightly untrustworthy or shifty if you aren't careful.
