Bluntness

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

Ice age

 Well, we had snow, and ice, and rain.  The current temp is 36 (F), however that's going to be about as high as the thermometer gets today.  Shortly, the temps are going to be on an icy, downhill slide.  This being the case, I did call the store and tell them I was taking a personal day today.  Shoveling will be a pain, since beneath the heavy inch of slushy snow there is ice, which needs to be chipped.

My aunt Crystal died Saturday evening.  Viewing and services are going to be held on Thursday.  I remember her as being loud and gregarious.  At 37 years of age, my tonsils were surgically removed because of yearly bouts of tonsillitis.  My aunt worked on one of the anesthesiology teams at the hospital.  One of the things I will always remember is coming out of the anesthesia and hearing her say, "David, it's your Aunt Crystal, do you want me to give you morphine?"  I left my sister a voicemail suggesting she and I go to the viewing and skip the service.  

I understand Trump verbally went after DeSantis because, well, Florida's only big enough for one authoritarian ego.  Sometimes there nothing better to watch than an authoritarian party becoming partisan with it's own rank and file.  I guess the big question is "who's going to throw the first sucker punch?"  You can bet your bottom dollar one of them is on the way.
