Berck is in Delaware for the next two nights. It’s cold in the apartment without him. I turned on the heat for the first time. It’s supposed to get in the 20’s tonight. It was that cold when I took Berck to the airport on the way to work this morning. We worked till 5. I pulled product from the time the pullers arrived an hour after we did to quitting time.
