Sun, Nov 17, 2019:  The Glades, Moore Haven, FL:  A grey and cool day today.  I don’t think it ever got out of the 50s.  And our furnace still doesn’t work.  Thought it was fixed yesterday, but not to be.  At least we have the fireplace and a little ceramic heater for the bathroom.  Drove into N. Ft. Myers and saw “Harriet.”  She was something else.  A little bit of a thing—4’9” I think.  She ran away herself when she heard she was going to be sold.  And she made it—all by herself.  Then she went back to free more—again, by herself.  She freed 70 by herself and then led a Union contingent and freed 700+.  She lived to the ripe old age of 91.  Upper 50s today.
