The wells:
It's going to take awhile to get caught up after being off the blog for a full day due to loss of electricity. I probably didn't get to all the e-mail from readers and haven't gotten to all the comments -- sorry -- but I will gradually catch up.
After being off the blog this long, I never know where to begin. But that reminds me, I haven't posted the wells that are coming off the confidential list this next week. So here goes.

From a reader, best tweet I've seen all week:
About 9:00 p.m. Monday night. Currently in Grapevine, TX, 9°F (feels like -11°F). No electricity, no power, no heat. I believe the overnight low is forecast to be 2°F.
I was snug as a bug in a rug under a pile of blankets when I heard a knock at my apartment door.
It's a long story but they, too, had no electricity and needed to be "at work" tomorrow, so my son-in-law found two hotel rooms in the local area. Tomorrow, he will use one room for work, and his wife (my daughter) will use the other room for her work. The three granddaughters also need electricity to do their homework.
So, he got two rooms and one would be vacant -- so they asked me if I would go with them.
So, here I am. At a very, very nice Holiday Inn Express near DFW, blogging away, with the extended family across the hall.
But, wow, I feel guilty. It would have been very ungracious not to accept their offer but I feel so guilty. I certainly don't deserve this luxury. I would survived overnight -- and I'm sure the electricity will be back on sometime tomorrow.
We lost electricity at 2:00 a.m. this morning -- eighteen hours ago, and we were being told that if we didn't have electricity now, we wouldn't have it overnight.
Local law enforcement agencies were "asking" folks to find warm shelter if they did not have electricity. The city was opening up heated centers. The police/fire department did not have the resources to respond to all the 911 calls -- they wanted folks to find "warm" shelter now. This record cold spell is forecast to last another two or three days.
So, here I am. Very comfortable.
My Norwegian grandfather who survived much worse than this on his sheep farm in northwest South Dakota would be very disappointed in me.
But most important: my extended family -- siblings, children, grandchildren know that I am safe and warm tonight. And that's most important.
