Winter can be bleak and dreary, especially when the snow is old and the sky is overcast. Nature is shades of gray. That can bring a fella down.
It doesn’t bring me down, I’ve got a beagle, but as part of my Continuous Improvement Plan, I added automatic color.
I watched Train Dreams last night, and don’t want to describe it because I’m likely to mess it up.
Guardian: Revealed: how big businesses are rolling back public support for Pride
The Guardian analyzed the number of times that ‘Pride’ was mentioned in a social media post by major American and UK companies. The results are hard to believe.
Sparky is very conscientious, but when we are blanketed with snow, he practices festival pooping. When the snow melts, it’s a mine field. The snow is gone, but it’s 22o and sunny. Cleaning up his debris is as easy as picking up golf balls at a driving range.
Sparky is baffled by my actions. To him, every frozen turd is a friend he hasn’t met yet.
Epstein files are being released. Bill Clinton is in several photos. In this photo, he is described as being nearly naked.
Not fair. Clinton is in a hot tub and wearing trunks. Even if the redacted person is a precocious teenager, he isn’t doing anything. If this is as incriminating as his photos get, then he was remarkably restrained.
Hardy Scandinavian immigrants were the right people to survive the harsh winters of Minnesota. They built a high-trust society that was safe, productive and thriving.
It’s hard to imagine what guilt or shame compelled people in the Minnesota government to settle refugees from the most incompatible countries in the world. A White savior complex or desire to virtue signal is toxic.
Sparky wanted to go out and make new friends. His tail was smiling, but it didn’t make it to his face.
The construction guys sent the tire buyer to the aux driveway, so everything worked out.
This is fun.
They have to dig up the waterline to hook up Jerry’s house, across the street. It wouldn’t be an issue except a guy is coming over soon to buy the wheels and snow tires from my last Tacoma. If the guy calls, as I requested, he can park in the aux driveway.
He won’t call, and it will be a charlie-foxtrot as he interrupts the excavation.
This is how Sparky sees himself when he’s got a frozen turd in his mouth.
This is what it’s really like.
This sounds so much like The Hunger Games, I can’t wait to see how this works out.
