Well we’ve made it back around to Monday and in a couple of days it’ll be February. Good, bring on the warmer weather, I’m tired of it being so cold in the morning. That said; we’re at 62 this morning and we should make it to the low 70’s by noon. Also we finally got a really good rain, 3.27″ starting about dark last night but it should be clearing out this morning. OK I need to kick start the old coffee pot, later,….
Oh and Mornin’ Gang

Fabulous OC pic.
I am determined that today will be better than yesterday. I am vertical, which is good, and coffee is ….just now finished brewing. That also is good.
I have a doctor appointment tomorrow, and believe me, I will be discussing my (to me) alarming level of problems. Maybe it’s normal and I just need to chill. X-rays are supposed to be involved, so they should be able to tell me what’s going on and what to expect. So I’ll go get my coffee and start on my day…

Morning gang. 27 out here this morning headed for a high of 31. The overall forecast has lowered about 5 degrees on both the top and the bottom since yesterday. I did not cover my plants in pots out front yesterday, so I may get out and do that if it’s not already too late. Some light precip every now and then but nothing sticking to the roads. You all have a good day now.

CRUNCHY ☙ Monday, January 30, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS
Roundup:
Good morning, C&C, it’s Monday! Welcome to today’s roundup: reflecting on wartime casualties; thoughts about Trump’s latest criticism of Governor DeSantis; McCullough links suicides to the jabs; Forbes pans Project Veritas in a garbage op-ed; and Bloomberg admits fake meat is fully cooked.
I also wish Trump would focus his vitriol on the real opposition instead of his competition for office. Onward:
Childers starts out with a story of shopping at a local farmer’s market and being found by a woman he befriended during his legislative and legal wars over WLR wars in Florida. The very nice lady reported that even though her family’s business had survived the pandemic restrictions, those pandemic cuts were too severe andthey were not left strong enough to survive Biden’s economy and would be closing.
We talked about their good attitude and how God surely has something better in store for them next.
Childers then told the very nice lady about a call he’d received from a Florida neurosurgeon. The doctor, in his mid-fifties, told Childers she’d lost her medical practice via vaxx injury.
Symptoms began right after her second Moderna shot in early 2021: tremors, weakness in the limbs, joint swelling, trouble sleeping.
The doctor’s symptoms progressed into full-blown Lupus. She said she often falls down now, after her body goes completely limp. Standing is a terrible risk because when she falls, she can’t move her arms to break the fall. So she’s now confined to bed. She’s also going blind. She’s recently filed for permanent disability and plans to file for bankruptcy, to deal with the large loans for her practice, which have gone unpaid for nearly a year.
… “It took my life,” she said. “Vaccines should not be like this.”
… near the end of our short call, she broke down into tears when she expressed her greatest regret: promoting the vaccines. “I misled so many people,” she sobbed.
I didn’t know what to say. We’ve ALL been misled.
The farmer’s market friend then shared a story about “Michael” ( not his real name, of course). He was one of those “overcoming a rough young adult period” and was now active in his church, getting a degree, etc. Good for him! I say! But he got two shots and a booster, and….
But just recently he’s developed some profound cardiac problems. He wakes up in the middle of the night with his heart pounding in his chest and it WON’T STOP — for HOURS. It’s destroying his sleep. He’s afraid to lie down and is terrified about what’s going to happen next.
Childers had started this section by referring to pre-war years, and he ties it together here:
… We had just discussed three more losses: a small business, a neurologist, and a young man. It occurred to me this is what life in 1944 must have been like. A numberless river of tragic news, in quantities previously unimaginable, but no time to grieve. There was a war to win. There was no time to complain or lose hope.
Not everyone agrees with me that World War III has already started. Call it whatever you like, and call it whatever KIND of war you like. But we ARE in a war. That’s crystal clear. The casualties are piling up.
But we don’t have time for grief. We must win it. We have to stay focused and positive. If America loses, Mad Max’s Thunderdome will be a best-case scenario for the rest of the world.
I hadn’t thought about it that way, but it’s the elites and Davos crowd against just about everyone else.

Morning Gang – it’s all the way UP to 42 here in the woods, and looks like a dreary, drippy day in store – but, come to think of it, it has been 42 ever since I got up… The bird feeder has been over-run with goldfinch bullies, pretty much running off any other birds – but, since the feeder is nearly empty, they should lose interest soon, and (hopefully) move on to “greener pastures”
-
Next up at C&C, he covers Trump’s criticism of DeSantis. I believe Childers is right – Trump is criticizing DeSantis on how he handled the pandemic. Stoopid. I agree that this is Trump’s weakest point – he warp speeded a dangerous medication and then CONTINUED to encourage people to take the jab even after people started dropping.
IMO, because he couldn’t admit that he’d been misled by the ‘professionals’ around him and made a mistake. Childers breaks this down:
But forget about Trump’s criticism. … Trump is practically daring DeSantis to come after him on the JABS. A child could write the rejoinder: “Oh yeah? That’s pretty rich coming from the death shots’ architect.” (Or, words to that effect.)
Believe me, Trump knows all about the politics around the mRNA injections. Yesterday’s feisty post proves he WANTS to have that debate,… and because DeSantis has already questioned the vaccines and convened a grand jury.
But why would Trump want this fight? Is he politically suicidal?
I think it’s not just about the primaries. I think it’s much bigger. Take a minute to visualize how the Trump-DeSantis jab debate would play out in corporate media. If Trump and DeSantis had an extended, spicy, and exciting throwdown over their mutual pandemic policy and about the jabs, with DeSantis criticizing the shots and Trump — of all people — defending them, WHICH SIDE WILL CORPORATE MEDIA SUPPORT?
Media can’t support Trump. Nor can Media support an anti-vaxxing governor. But Media still has to make a choice: which side to boost and which side to demean.
This irreconcilable conflict would combine to form an explosive news paradox, where media positrons would slam into media negatrons, the Ghostbusting streams would disastrously cross, [snuffle! snort!] Don Lemon’s pickled brain would spurt out of its container like a spoiled custard, and CERN would accelerate out of control until the WEF was dematerialized into an alternative dimension having no carbon at all. Good luck trying to stand up.
Seriously, even though DeSantis’ best political response here is to continue ignoring Trump, I really, really want to see this show.
Well, haven’t we all been curious to see what crossing the streams would do?

Next up, Dr. McCullough (God bless ‘m), tackles acute psychosis as a result of the jab. I hadn’t heard about this, being absorbed by all of the physical problems being reported: tremors, blindness, lupus, paralysis, cardiac failures/problems, destruction of fertility, and death. (Not a complete list, by any means.)
I had not heard of psychosis. It hasn’t really been studied, yet, I guess, or maybe the news has been tamped down.
McCullough found about ten scholarly articles describing “acute neuropsychiatric symptoms” after covid shots. “Acute” means it came on suddenly and unexpectedly, the opposite of “chronic.” In this context, “neuropsychiatric symptoms” means psychosis. Breaks from reality. Crazy town.
McCullough summarized one of the papers, which was titled “First Episode of Psychosis Following the Covid-19 Vaccination – a Case Series.” The researchers examined three patients with acute psychosis that sprang up after they got jabbed. Here’s how Dr. McCullough reacted to the paper:
All three patients required hospitalization with exhaustive diagnostic testing and medical treatment. One of the cases progressed to attempted suicide with a knife stabbing to the abdomen requiring emergency abdominal surgery. As a doctor I am disturbed by medical evidence demonstrating gene coded SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan Institute of Virology Spike protein in the human brain after vaccination. I wonder how many subtle changes go clinically unrecognized. Even if a small number are affect, the massive numbers who came forward make any “rare” complication a common issue to face in clinical practice.
The bottom line is these findings means in cases of suicide we can’t rule out jab injury as a cause anymore, and prior “mental health problems” becomes suggestive of a REASON. Normally, we be very sensitive to grieving relatives grappling with a loved one’s tragic suicide.
But now these deaths, including suicides, are part of a developing public health crisis, even if only because excess deaths are skyrocketing.
I guess if the spike proteins can lodge in other organs, why not the brain? I haven’t heard anything about the sp’s being able to cross the blood-brain barrier. It seems it can.
That makes the PV video exposing Pfizer wanting to engage in “directed evolution” of the WLR virus even more despicable.
-
Speaking of the Project Veritas videos:
Forbes is attacking the video by questioning the existence of Jordan Walker at Pfizer.
Seriously? After that “explanation” by Pfizer?
At this point, has ANYONE argued Walker doesn’t work for Pfizer? Pfizer has the burden of saying that Walker doesn’t work there, if that’s the case.
It’s trivially easy to verify that Walker DID have a Linked-In profile until the same evening the Project Veritas video launched, and then, suddenly, he did not have a Linked-In profile. That fact deserves mention, but not, apparently, to Forbes’ “senior contributor.”
I’d call this a poor attempt at a whitewash, but that would be racist.

Trump vs Trump vs DeSantis
Donald is fighting the ghost of Fauci Past.
He has revealed his most vulnerable area by coming out so aggressively to defend it. Trump and his advisors know DeSantis will one day attack, and attack hard, the whole disastrous way the public health Deep State ran over the Donald like the Road Runner flattens Wiley Coyote.
The strategy is to draw out DeSantis now and have this COVID battle now 21 months before the election so voters will forget how embarrassing it was for Trump. DeSantis is smart, will ignore Trump and hold his fire until it is the most effective.
-
Good analogy except I would say Wiley always ended up flattening himself, outsmarted by the Road Runner.

Morning, gang. Wow, it is cold today. I have some errands to run, but it will take all the will power I can muster to get out in the cold plus probably some drizzle.

To most people, owning your own business is a way to become successful. For me, it was a mission – a lifeline to a brighter future for myself and my daughters.
That journey began in California more than three decades ago, when I dropped my nursing studies to get a commercial driver’s license. As a woman, the thought of working in a male-dominated field was intimidating at first. But those initial fears soon gave way to the rewarding opportunities that a career in trucking offers.
The change was unexpected. As a single parent raising four daughters, I needed both flexibility and the opportunity to provide for them. Which is why, in 2015, I partnered with Prime Inc. to become an independent contractor.
and,
When the state legislature began debating Assembly Bill 5 – a law effectively banning independent contractors in trucking – my dream was put in jeopardy. AB5 would have demoted me from small business owner to company employee – affecting my hours, benefits, flexibility and overall ability to earn on my own terms. It would effectively kill the dream I worked so hard to build over so many years.
eventually this move,
I often reflect on where my dream started and what could have been. As a Black woman, I built a successful business and created a profitable path in an industry that had once belonged almost exclusively to men. Then the California legislature stepped in and took that all away from me. They forced me to say goodbye to the place I once called home for decades.

When you make life unbearable for people, they leave.
Sales totaled 5,772 in the two counties — down 4,833 from December 2021, according to data from CoreLogic.
Just how slow is the market?
- It was the No. 1 slowest-selling December in records dating to 1988.
- It was the fourth-smallest sales total for any month.
- The year’s sales drop ranked eighth-largest over 35 years. Plus, it was 50% below December’s average sales since 1988.
It’s all because of economic skittishness, especially soaring inflation and pricier home loans, which together crashed the housing market.
Surging mortgage rates also cut buying power by 35% in a year, making the region’s high home prices even more unaffordable. In the six-county Southern California region in the past year, sales fell 47% to 12,751. The median sales price rose just a scant 0.7% to $686,000.

My #15…
I chickened out. It’s just colder than I want to endure outside right now. Just the thought of it makes me want to crawl back in my bed and pull the quilts up over me. It looks to be a few degrees warmer after lunch, maybe I can go out later.

I didn’t get up this morning intending to do a multiple comment expose on California, but the hits just keep coming. It’s an instruction manual on how to do destroy an American state with a GDP larger than most of the nations in the world.
The great Abigail Schrier at City Journal:
Predator’s Paradise
On a Saturday night in South Los Angeles, cars pull up and idle along the side streets of Figueroa, high beams ablaze, so that the drivers can get a good look at “the girls.” The women stand three astride in the middle of the street, in pasties and G-string bikinis under fishnet dresses. Draped over their shoulders are unzipped coats; even in temperate L.A., the night’s January chill is biting. In seven-inch Lucite heels, they teeter toward the driver of each car the way you might walk barefoot across gravel. Less than a block away, their pimps keep company on a sidewalk corner, in hoodies and loose jeans, watching their quarry, awaiting the payout. Absent is the one thing that might typically break up the party: a police car.
In early January, I joined Erin Wilson and Stephany Powell on a tour of “the track” on Figueroa, one of California’s busiest prostitution areas. For decades, Wilson, who volunteers for the anti-trafficking organization Journey Out, and her mother, Powell, have worked to combat human trafficking in Los Angeles and to help women and child victims escape this brutal world.
plus,
What shifted? The answer, the anti-trafficking advocates told me, is Senate Bill 357. Signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in July, the measure decriminalized loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution. The bill did not officially take effect until January 1 of this year; but, from the moment it became law back in July, these women say, the on-the-ground reality changed. “The minute the governor signed it, you started seeing an uptick on the streets,” Powell said. “And on social media, the pimps were saying: ‘You better get out there and work because the streets are ours.’”
The pimps were right: police stopped making arrests for crimes that would no longer be charged. The anti-loitering statute had provided the grounds for officers to question women and children whom they suspected might be trapped in a prostitution ring. “As a police officer, you need probable cause to stop and investigate,” Powell explained. “So if I have a law that says you can’t loiter in this area, with pasties and a G-string, flagging down cars, I could stop you for that because you’re loitering. But if I just say I’m stopping you because you look kind of young, that’s a little weak. So, it takes away a tool.” Without the statute, police hands were suddenly tied. Henceforth, questioning the girls—and potentially provoking a violent confrontation with pimps—came to seem a Pyrrhic gamble, one that California’s police officers would now avoid.
The story gets much worse.

As noontime approaches, it’s still 27 degrees out here. I think that forecast high of 31 really passed at midnight last night as it looks to me like we are headed downhill from here. I got out enough to put a tarp over my potted plants and went to the grocery store for some onions to make chili. Roads are just fine so far, but there is a light sleet falling, and my windshield was iced over until I scraped it off before leaving. radar indicates some lite icy precip possible through out the day. Good day to just stay indoors, so that’s my plan for the remainder of the day.

I’m hoping this post goes through – this is what Hubby and Handyman are working on these days. This is the upstairs balcony that encircles and overlooks the living area downstairs. We are finally getting the flooring installed!
The silver stuff is insulation, and the red pipe is PEX tubing. As part of the heating system, hot water will flow through the tubing, warm the wooden floor above it, and provide radiant heat to the upstairs area. The insulation is needed to increase the resistance below the tubing, which should drive most of the heat upwards. The wooden floor is salvaged from our old house, and is circa 1930. After getting installed, the flooring will be sanded and refinished in a lighter stain, closer to the color of the stairs.
We’ve finally hit the confluence of health/hands/time/money to get this done.
Once the floor is done, then we get to start moving stuff from the master bedroom into the balcony area so that the master can finally start getting flooring. Then to the craft/food storage/future kitchenette area next to the master, and finally to the office. Moving all of the accumulated stuff – boxes of office records, furniture, supplies, etc. – is something I am NOT looking forward to doing, but once we have the flooring in I can finally reorganize all of my crap and set up permanent craft space, etc.
We pre-piped the porches, too, so if we have gatherings we can actually create a warm zone outside in cooler weather. /fingers crossed
Hubby is so happy that he can finally concentrate on this! As am I.

My folks came back from their cruise yesterday morning. I think they were worn out. My dad went to take a nap at noon yesterday and he didn’t wake up until this morning at 8:30 am.
I keep telling them both they need to exercise more, but they don’t listen to me. The entire reason I exercised regularly was to be able to enjoy strenuous activities on the weekends or on vacations. Whether it be camping, hiking, backpacking, canoeing, or walking 10 – 15 miles a day several days in a row exploring a new city.
Our health and well being are a precious gift to be thankful for every day.

I finally talked my friends, a couple now past 75 to stop going on those damned cruises. Every time they returned from a cruise she would be sick for days. Hello, hello?
They both have ongoing health conditions that put them in the vulnerable class. Those chicken-coop ocean liners are hothouses for transmitting any kind of viral or bacterial infection on the books.

These California stories are chasing me all over the internet today. This writer is an op-ed editor for the San Diego Union-Tribune, believe it or not.
Kelley Blue Book reports the average cost of a new vehicle in the U.S. went from about $30,000 in 2012 to $48,000 last year — a 60 percent increase. This has made used vehicles a more attractive option for those looking for new wheels.
and,
Consider the mandate adopted last year by the California Air Resources Board, at the behest of Gov. Gavin Newsom, banning the sale of new fossil-fuel vehicles in the state as of 2035. Kelley Blue Book says the average cost of new passenger electric vehicles was $66,000 in the U.S. in 2022. This cost may not seem daunting to the 16 percent of California family households with an average income of $200,000 or more or to well-off individuals — as reflected in the fact that zero-emission vehicles made up 19 percent of new sales last year in California.
in the future,
So come 2040, I expect to still be driving my 2006 Lexus RX 400h SUV to Convoy Street for fine dining — as I have since I got the hybrid with 69,000 miles on it for $20,000 in 2012. I’ve got 224,000 miles on it now and may have 500,000 by then, but getting a new engine or two in the interim doesn’t seem likely to cost as much as just the down payment on a new electric vehicle.

Great headline.
Transes Wear Mental Illnesses Like Fashion Accessories
The transes seem to engage in an informal competition to be the most mentally fragile and permanently miserable, consumed with angst from the slightest non-problems imaginable.
Take, for instance, this woman, who is on the verge of tears at the prospect of having to tick a box on a form to notate biological sex which doesn’t include a section for non-binaries. “It’s sad,” she says. “I feel heavy with that knowledge.”

“Our health and well being are a precious gift to be thankful for every day.”
I could not agree more. I read that these days all the medical schools are getting eaten up with this DEI stuff, presumably to keep the stream of government funding (either directly of through the student loan revenue stream) coming. Like most other things, we will be required to become more sufficient in the area of health care and learn how to take care of ourselves, at least to the extent we are able. That required knowledge of scientific facts, not some insane liberal agenda – for instance, there are differences between men and women, and their maintenance and treatment needs do differ. Their diagnostics differ. One size does not fit all. That’s partly the reason I’ve taken an interest in the Ninja Nerd lectures regarding cardiac matters – I want to at least be able to understand what my doctor is trying to tell me – what are causes and effects of certain meds, foods, environmental factors, and the like. Some of those things are things I can do something about, unlike what I can do about the war in Ukraine or police brutality in Memphis. I’m not and never will become a medical doctor, but I might just learn a little more about actually how to take care of myself.
Since the morning lecture was fairly short, here’s another one close to me about Pulmonary Embolism with which I became acquainted a few short years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmmINOpIVuY -
El G – some time back I think I linked to some videos that had a coupla doctors who did something along those lines, but used actual cadevers to discuss how the body worked.
Kinda gross, but once I got past the “dead guy” queasies, I found their lectures quite informative.
Here’s a link to their YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/InstituteofHumanAnatomy

Well, I did crawl back under the covers on my bed to get warm and comfy. The 2 cats that curled up with me helped. Eventually I had to get up for lunch, and I went out front to fetch the mail.

Following some of the post today. We just sold my Deceased Dad’s 2013 Tacoma truck with 7,000 miles to my Neice who lives in Austin. First thing she did was have a catalytic converter guard installed! Stay tuned because she lives in the heart of Austin. So….
EG and Tedham thanks for the Anatomy links. The heart is an amazing machine. I see God’s handiwork in every detail. I’m perplexed by the people that don’t. 🙁
Tedham:
Love the radiant flooring and reclaimed Oak Flooring idea and implementation. Send more pics as it progresses. Is it my imagination or did Texas Winters used to just last a few days?
Also GJT:
My neice found my real Dad on Ancestry using her DNA from the military. That brought closure after a 60 year quest for just a picture and maybe some long lost relatives. Too much to go into right now. But yes, we have closure.

Remember how I confessed that I messed up yesterday’s Sunday sudoku? And how I could print another copy OR erase everything I had penciled in on the bad one, so I could start it again from scratch.
Well, I printed a fresh copy and started on it. Bogged down with an error after half an hour.
Guess I’ll have to erase one of those two messes, so it’ll be clean to start on again.

We finally signed up for Yellowstone at $9/month for no commercials.
We watched the first three episodes last night. I was, of course, critiquing the horse wrangling (pretty bad in places), the stupid cowboying over handling cattle, etc, etc. Some dumb stuff that most Americans have no idea about.
The characters are interesting, scenery beautiful and Dutton’s daughter set off every alarm and red flag I’ve refined over the years the minute she appeared on screen. Don’t look at her, don’t talk to her, leave the room, get in your truck and drive away as fast as you can.
The young Indian wife of the Dutton son is pretty cute.
Costner has a limited acting repertoire and has been lucky enough to have lasted into that late career phase of playing himself like John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Steve McQueen, Sean Connery and James Garner eventually did. They just write the scripts to Costner’s natural persona and make it fit the narrative of the plot. Costner is pretty lucky because I don’t think he’s as good as the rest of those guys.

Very minor historical note:
Our paternal grandmother was born outside Helena, Montana around 1904 or 1905. She was the oldest daughter of, I believe, English/Scottish immigrants who came west and homesteaded a claim less than 12 years after Montana became a state. They lived in one of those mud dugout cabins on the Montana prairie and after nearly freezing to death one especially hard winter, the family headed straight south to the Texas Panhandle, Lubbock that is, where it’s just like Miami, Florida all the time.
Heh.

Still holding at 27 even after dark. Schools for tomorrow were already cancelled in anticipation of some wintry precip, but I don’t see anything on the radar that looks like precip. I got all my chili fixins ready to go but decided to wait until tomorrow to do that. My covers over the plants are holding so hopefully the plants will not get damaged despite going about 3 full days with temps not getting above freezing. This was sort of what I had been anticipating for February, but it’s still 10 degrees or so warmer than I expect – usually we get stuck in the teens for a few days.
Gonna go find something on the TV and wait for BFF to call, and then I’ll probably just go crawl into the warm covers and call it a night. It’s way too early now though. More later.

Take it from me. Only a fool wants or attempts to “handle” a woman like Beth Dutton.
Age and experience beat handsome and strong every day of the week when it comes to crazy, emotionally disturbed women. Wisdom from near misses, breakups, breakdowns, heartaches, tragedies, female stalkings and even having a gun pulled on me by a woman – accumulated over 7 decades and I’m still alive.

Dang, I guessed that I missed a lot today but I’ve been real busy, we even had an “Abuck” sighting. FWIW; I didn’t accomplish a lot but I did add a lower shelf to the big one in the Pole Barn. That was after I cruised around place in the old Mule looking for downed limbs, trees and such. After the 3 and a quarter inch of rain the creek was up and out of it’s banks but it didn’t cross the road this time. I didn’t figure it would with only 3 inches or so of rain. The highlight of my day was when we video chatted with the granddaughters and DIL over in the land of Fruits N Nuts. We had to get our Girl Scout Cookie order in before they were all gone. Lil’ Cheyenne was allocated 40 boxes and has already sold 42 so she is on a roll. Luckily, there is no limit as long as they can get the product. They sold out of the nasty Sugar Cookies real quick and DIL has been scrounging for more boxes from other girls. She told me she felt like a drug dealer, telling everyone I can get the good stuff in a couple of days. 😀
SO! Interesting or not, that was my day and as usual; “Life is Good” I/We are so blessed. 😉

GJT we watched all the 1923 episodes, 4 I think? But it’s coming back and thinking of that; is Ozark coming back? I seem to remember that there will be another season sometime. We caught up and finished Big Sky but I know it’s coming back sometime.

Texpat, never had a lady pull a gun on me but I did have a black dude pull one while he was trying to get his lady out of my car! Long crazy story and I’ll explain it later if I have time.

The fourth and final season of Ozark came out in early 2022. It was 14 episodes and they released 7 episodes in January and the remaining 7 in April.

Pretty sure I remember that was it for Ozark.

Never mind….

My cousin had a gun pulled on him while walking in his apartment complex. The perp put the gun right in his face. My cousin was pissed off that someone put a gun in his face so he reached up and grabbed the gun and successfully took it away from the perp.
He was able to detain the perp until the cops showed up.

Well dang, I guess Ozark isn’t coming back. It ended on the last show but it had “ended” before. I liked it because it was so insane. Wendy was pure EVIL! She made Beth look like like a Girl Scout. For a while you thought Darlene was the most evil witch on the planet but she had nothing on Wendy.

Night all. School’s out here tomorrow for weather, so I might be staying in again myself. Have a good evening.

If I have time I’ll tell the story of the dudes trying to break into daughter’s apartment. She was scared to death but she was sitting on the floor holding her S&W 38 Snubby while talking to the 911 dispatcher.

Going to be cold tonight, already down to 37. Still misty and occasional light rain drips from the large live oaks that reach over the garden room roof. Otherwise all is quiet. We have several more days of rain off and on and cold (for here) temps. Winter this far south can be messy in its own way, but we rarely need snowplows to clear a path on roads.
There are flood warnings in Fort Bend County since the San Bernard River has flooded some. So far it is not serious. The Brazos is not anywhere near flood stage, thank you Lord.
Goodnight All.

I keep getting up and turning the heater down and I don’t understand why it won’t quit running. So I checked the Internet and it’s 35 frikkkn degrees outside.
