let it snow

It never fails that winter precipitation rolls around the first week that kids go back to school after Christmas break.  In my neck of the woods, that means total paralysis.  I did manage to snag some milk and bread at the 'gentral, so there's that is a check on my emergency preparedness list.  Reading about what's going on around LA, I feel fortunate to just be dealing with snow.  What they would give for that!  

Y'all just don't watch the news.  It's all bad because you know, if it bleeds it leads.  I read an interesting piece about how the Repulican trifecta is in force with comparison and contrast to others in the past.  Bottom line is, it can all change with midterms.  Today's hero, in my book, is Merrick Garland.  I don't know much, but I do not believe that presidential immunity applies if you are not president yet.  There is a flurry of activity to try and get 'er done before inauguration day.  

LP and I were talking about where we would move instead of Canada because it's cold there and we love the beach.  So Belize or Fiji it is.  Besides, Canada doesn't want our asses immigrating up there.  Things look mighty bleak which is why Trudeau is stepping down and looking for a replacement.  He has always been known as the "pretty boy" prime minister to this country.  He will have a rosy future in modeling and endorsements.  

I found it fascinating that two of the thirty something death row inmates pardoned by President Biden turned it down.  But I understand because they claim to be innocent and fear that it would stick them life in prison and no chance of appeal.  I bet their lawyers are happy.  It always puzzles me that the pro-life people don't consider this murder but believe that life begins at conception.  

I am so non-judgemental it ain't funny.  My mantra is live and let live as long as you're not hurting me in the process.  You don't believe in gay marriage?  Don't do it yourself but don't deprive others of that right.  On the flip side, it's way beyond sanity to sue the guy who won't make your wedding cake.  Find another bakery.  Walmart don't care!  ChickFila and Hobby Lobby might but just don't tell 'em.

Rosie is sitting on the fireplace being all cute and feline plus staying warm.  Those gas logs are amazing.  All the blinds are shut to keep that precious heat inside.  We have been using laundry pods which is a big adjustment for me from the liquid stuff because you have to catch it before it starts washing to add clothes.  Laundry is past the 2 loads a day routine and fairly caught up.  Dishes?  The same.  We feel so accomplished.  We have worked like trojans for two and a half months to make this house a home.

Get your boots out kid.  Fur lined, no less ^j^
