Great idea! I didn’t think of that

After being a MotoGP fan for over 30 years I quit cold turkey about 8 years ago as part of my decarbonization efforts.
Every time I’m tempted to start following it again I see the bikes getting uglier and uglier and I have no problem leaving it in my past LOL

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

The front of my house looks just like that, must be one of them fractal deals

The single greatest ‘advertisement’ of all time.

Our modern house is snow encrusted by wind driven blizzard snow turning it white from its usual needed to be restained five years ago brown. Our car has 2-3’ snow on top of it, I’ve pointlessly cleared a 2-shovel width path from the front door out into the street which hasn’t been plowed yet

Now I know what the house would look like if we painted it white

I wonder how many people I’d see out if I snowshoed around the block right now?

* after breakfast

Called to check on my mom this morning, she said they still have power and she’s going back to bed, “to hell with this blizzard”!

In retrospect I should have rolled the log cart right inside the house last night d’oh!

Yeah the wind is fierce. I may have a wack at a first shoveling pass, as much to say I did as to actually clear any snow...
I’ll report back if I survive.

A slider looking out. The screen is encrusted with wind-driven snow as are the woodpile and log cart.

I had to go 24” out the back slider to get some logs for the stove, nearly died. Whiteout conditions. Almost got lost and didn’t make it back!

Everything You Wanted To Know About The Bible But Were Afraid To Ask

One good thing about all the frustration I feel about how badly people on TV and in movies handle crisis is that I feel like I’m practicing for crisis...
Yay?

there’s more than one?!

yup

One time we were on our annual Western Trip and making our way north to Albuquerque. The GPS was mispronouncing town and city names to hilarious effect. We were dying to hear her say ABQ mile after mile, update after update, she would omit the name… until finally FINALLY she said it!

Do you know how you know you’re on a Nazi site?
