Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

First snowfall

Well, we had some snow.  Total here at my house comes in at about 3 inches.  It's not really deep enough for the dogs to get excited.  They like to barrel through, sending plumes of snow scaling up into the branches of the the River Birch.  It sure does look pretty in the morning, though.


While my neighbors spent the necessary minutes last evening clearing their sidewalks, I spent my hour wisely... editing The Body in the Well.  I had to go buy bigger binders for the three people who read and critique.  In about three weeks I should begin to find out if bigger really is better.
Being that this is a day off for me, I usually end up doing laundry... surprisingly I am all caught up.  I am planning a nice ride for this afternoon.  It occurred to me that I should actually see if there are any in Pennsylvania, since I live here.  If there are, I imagine they will be very hilly unless they are in the eastern part of the state.
And I saw Iran launched missiles at two bases in Iraq.  Retaliatory, as a response the to assassination of Soleimani.  Will there be a response from the United States?  Well, the Idiot Jerk is stupid enough.  A large majority of Americans oppose a war, but we all know he only cares about what his minority base thinks.  He's certain that because he managed to pull a win out of his ass in 2016, the same thing will happen in 2020.  However, However, Gallup published stats on political parties which should give him heartburn.  47% of American voters consider themselves Democrats, 42% liken themselves to the Republican Party.  This is interesting since his approval rating barely manages float above 42%.  That's right, a minority group is dictating how this country lives.  Even when we kick their asses out of office, they will never understand their place in the world.

  1. Polls are nice, numbers are good, but what we need is people to get off their asses and vote.

    1. Agreed. After having the Clinton name being publicly beaten down for almost 16 years by the Republicans, Hillary was more polarizing than anything else... and we do need Independent voters to win the White House.

  2. I love the first snow - it's so pretty isn't it. If they could find a way to keep it off the roads it would be heaven!

  3. Our temp is supposed to hit 61 (F) on Sat so it'll be gone fast.

  4. Took me about 5 minutes to shovel... and then the dogs and I played frozen frisbee.

  5. I wish we'd have some snow. It won't be anytime soon because the highs this weekend are going to be in the mid 70s. Ugh. I hate these half-assed winters and I guess that's going to be the new norm these days.

    I was so upset about the Iran strikes last night I was almost tearful. I was just sure idiot Dump was going to retaliate in some truly horrendous fashion and we might be in WW3 by morning. I'm so ready for this nightmare administration to be OVER.

    1. Yeah, it's a half-assed winter.

      I wasn't worried because I knew the Idiot was going to cave, and today, as they're saying... he took the off ramp.
