Today's thought:
Hand sanitizer is the gateway drug to OCD.

TOB&F today PLEASE!

 

I finally found the video that explains why Bark dances like he does when startled. He was traumatized by a rouge mouse as a young lad, and then his family laughed at him. What a sad, but funny, life event.

 

Woke up to more snow. We got about a foot from this storm, More in Anchorage. A tolerable 15°.
I have trouble with cinnamon, it crashes my blood sugar. But ya, I'll go for a nice warm pineapple fritter and coco coffee.
I'm going to relax today and lick my wounds from yesterday. Never replace the wiper switch on an old Jeep Cherokee, pay some else to suffer for you.

 

Happy Sunday all y'all,
Today is day 2 of 2 of shopping a'palooza for friends and family for Christmas. Yesterday we were in th city for about 6 hours. Today should be a shorter trip and then we should be good to go. I was quite surprised, the mall we went to wasn't as bad as it has been in past years. Today is just small shops, no need to go to a big mall.
We are having our first good chinook of the year. Earlier in the week it hit -40F, today it is going to make it to at least +40F, welcome to crazy weather in the shadow of the Rockies.
The warm weather means that I was finally able to get some outside chores done - garbage is burned and garage is tidied up a bit.
Have a wonderful and safe Sunday everyone, I will be back to read about the day's shenanigans around dinner time.

 

OK, OK - - just waste your life. ............................

Hey, football is on - - I will not be doing much either since church is over. Blondie says all is quiet in Seattle, but with Ianna, that is not necessarily good. She is just sitting and staring again. Typical for low blood count. Hate it.

 

Howdy people, and Scott

Ooops. Sorry, that was probably me. Anthony Weiner said he never got it.

Friend of ours who lives in Seattle married a gal from a large city in China. She believes their govt deliberately downplays the lung disease stats.
Also, she kind of confused me. She indicated that smoking is illegal but a higher percentage of people smoke than in the US.
She said that some health clinics haven't even banned smoking in their rooms.

I started using a 12 gauge after that.

We got even more right next to the inlet. A little further inland only got half.
Once again, somebody should get out there and start shoveling.
Anybody?

Cougar - I can confirm for you that IS snow.....

 

Strange. The snow around the back door of my garage always winds up with yellow patches.

 

Snow cone patch.

Evening all. How do you know you're living the high life? You're sitting in a hotel room in your...... well you're sitting in a hotel room drinking peach wine out of a styrofoam cup and playing on DTR. That's living large.
