Snow

Well, we did get snow. I thought we'd get about 3 inches.  We got a tad bit more, for fell short of the 4 inches forecasters were predicting.  Temp wise we are sitting right at the freezing point, with today's high to be in the upper 40s (F).  Tomorrow our high will not get as high, rising only into the mid 30s (F).  On the bright side, we a little over 3 weeks until Spring officially arrives.  Believe me when I tell you that people here in Central PA are ready and waiting.  

Things were very slow yesterday in the world of home improvement retail.  One of our aisle associates was wondering why, so I told him this is what it's always like in mid-February.  There may have been 5 customers in the store when I left at 6 PM.  When I was a part-time cashier, over 17 years ago, I was lucky if I was scheduled 4 hours a week.  

So, what did I do to pass the time?  Well, I printed off Chapter 6, called B Flat, and spent some time editing and rewriting.  Three new characters are introduced in this chapter: Tsung Park, Violet Murgatroyd, and Netty LaRoux.  She's a cook.  I find her name amusing since there are so many people who have no idea what a roux is.

And, as I said, we did get snow.  Here are some pics.  It sure does look pretty, doesn't it?

And yesterday morning the US Men's hockey team won.  That was great.  Only one thing put a damper on the victory and that was the drunken idiot Kash Patel dancing around with the team, shouting "I won, I won," while on the phone with the Orange Anus.  I don't know about you, but I'd rather a the Director of the FBI demonstrate just a smidgen of dignity rather than chug beer like some over-the-hill frat boy.  Now, I'm not on Zitter, or Twitter, or what ever Musk's social media platform is called, but from what other people are saying, MAGA cultists are not happy with Patel's jig-jigging around.  These people actually thought that the Orange Anus was going to drain the swamp.  Now, they're beginning to realize he is the swamp.

And the State of the Union speech is on Tuesday evening.  For some odd reason I thought it was on last night.  Not that I have any intention of watching it.  Those who do should prepare themselves to hear many lies, not doubt the latest being that Orangie single handedly stopped a drug war in Mexico.

Blizzard of Lies

So, a combination of drizzle and snow is falling, mostly drizzle, a wintery mix their calling it on Accuweather.  We are under winter storm warning.  Two weeks ago we were in a similar situation.  Back then they forecast up to 16 inches of snow and we got about nine inches.  The forecast for today is between 4 and 8 inches, so I'm betting we're going to be on the shy side of 4 inches.  The Jersey shore?  That's another matter.  I do suspect they're going to get hit.

At work yesterday I had a nice hardwood installation go through.  My sales goal for the week is a done deal.  I need another measure to hit my goal.  I'm not even going to attempt to sign someone up for a credit card, as I said before, that's just not in my nature.

My neck of the woods, meaning Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, as well as Enola, is under a water restriction.  We're supposed to use between 10% - 15% less.  There were a number of comments by dissatisfied customers on Facebook.  One stared with "Ima," not I am or I'm.  Usually, people who use trendy slang do so because they're something in their nature which requires them to be... well trendy.  Slang comes and goes, believe me.  Rarely does it ever become part of the language.

The Orange Anus posted this on his Truth Social account.  Someone needs to tell him that both US Nave Hospital ships, the USNS Mercy and the USNS Comfort, are in drydock down in Mobile, Alabama.  Nobody knows what this is about.  This is what dementia looks like.  

The State of Union speech is tonight.  I will not be watching.  Apparently there are going to be a large number of Democrat no shows.  There will be Epstein survivors in attendance.  I hope they all carry some sort of placard with the words Release the Files.  With his approval rating as low as it is, I don't think this speech is going to matter one bit.  In fact, looking back on this rage speech after the Supreme Court handed him a defeat, I would not be surprised if he doesn't do more damage to himself.    This year's State of the Union speech may go down in infamy, mostly because it will be nothing more than a blizzard of lies  I will wait until afterwards to look at the comments.

And whether true or not, it seems as though Orangie may have called into a CNN talk show using his alias John Barron. He's been known to use this name in the past.  CNN wisely cut him off.
