Bluntness

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

Snow

 We have snow!  Not the light and fluffy kind, however, thick and heavy.  Very moisture laden, might be a good way of describing it, and beneath the white is a layer of slush, weighty stuff.  This cardio will be a workout.  Temps are barely below freezing, and as the day goes on, the warmer they're going to be getting.  Some forecasters predicted 1 - 3 inches, other 4 - 8 inches.  I'm guessing we got on the low end of the 4 - 8 inches, and while flurries are still flying, I'm not expecting much more of an accumulation. 

An apology to Sixpence for not responding to his comment yesterday.  Blogger did something odd and the reply button was not working.  In fact, the same thing happened to Maddie's reply button after I responded to her comment.  

Retail was slow yesterday.  Once again, I'm going to repeat myself.  We're in the middle of February, here in the mid-state, the number of people choosing to wait on home improvements is enormous.  The installation measures I have been getting are for blinds, not flooring.  There's no need for doors to be open for extended periods of time while product and tools are carried into the house.  There's also a lot less mess.  Cleanup is virtually non-existent. 

Quick snowy weather update, the sun has just broken through the clouds!  According to Accuweather radar, the storm has passed.  So, I guess we're looking forward to partly cloudy skies with temps in the mid 40s (F).  Meaning the snow is already going bye bye.  Here's a pic from my backyard.


And, if anyone hasn't been paying attention, the social conservatives are flipping out over those pro-Christian ads that played during the Super Bowl.  Holy Crap!  Literally.  They're calling them Satanic, and pure evil.  One of the said that they promoted a Woke Jesus (I found that funny), since social conservatives hate the idea of being woke.  Remember woke?  That thing Americans rejected Ronnie DeSantis, and his campaign, because he couldn't stop shoving it down everyone's throat?

Another bit of bright news is that the last chapter of Moms for Liberty in Pennsylvania has officially disbanded because of... lack of interest.  The thing they didn't understand is that parents really don't want someone telling them how to raise their children.  Nope.  Perhaps if they had provided a list of books that parents might want to consider to be either appropriate or inappropriate for their children they might have had a better success rate, but nope, they charged into schools ripping books from library shelves.  That, and the fact that they heartily approved of a White Supremacy.  

Finally, looking out of my window, I think it's about time I got my ass into gear and went out and shoveled some snow.

  1. Hey you!
    Blogger has been iffy. And I really loved that the xtianist commercial (that costed a pretty penny) irked EVERYBODY. They're trying to sweeten the horrible image of the church, but they want a theocracy in the United States. The commercials were paid by the bigots at Hobby Lobby *spits*. May they burn in their hell.
    And the whole freakout over the half time and the such by the conspiracy theorists was a joy.

    And yay for the KKKarens disbanding in PA. See You Next Thursday, Sisters.

    XOXO

    1. The Moms are having problems all over the place. And there were 2 commercials bought for almost $20 million, and it's nice to see they both died terribly controversial deaths.

    Your blog is now not showing in my feed. Blogger is being a little **tch.

  3. Moms for Liberty or Lunacy ? :)
    What a bunch of hypocrites they and their leaders are, one scandal after another.
    Groups like them in control of schoolboards can cost taxpayers millions of dollars in lawsuits our schools cannot afford.
    Voters need to pay attention to their schoolboard elections. -Rj

    1. They learned their lesson in Buck's County, PA, where that hate group hired an ally as school superintendent, and paid over $125 an hour to some loser from Hillside University to create a curriculum which almost completely eliminated black history. This past election cycle they were all voted out!

  4. I was pleasantly happy and tickled with our snow this morning. It looked absolutely beautiful out. I didn't know about the reply button until last night. Then I started getting emails that the whole entire comment box was missing. I had gotten several emails from commenters wondering if I had limited comments to just members of the blog. I didn't sure enough I visited several other blogs and couldn't comment either. Whatever it was they must have straightened it out.

    1. I don't know what it was, but it was frustrating. I hope you didn't more than 3 Fasnacht's, otherwise you're going to look similar to you snowball dress.
