Snow? What's that? Ha! Is it cold?

Ouch, ouch, ouch. Oh my word. Went to Walmart this am and saw 38 degrees. WOW. Good thing I was prepared and wearing my long thermal underwear. Only making it up to the mid 60's today, but will make it to the mid 70's tomorrow. That's 38 degrees, or as @TBoneTX would say "NOT many Degrees" And tomorrow we are flying up to Chicago to pick up (another) dog from our breeder. The weather app says it will be 16 degrees (worse than NOT many). Fortunately not leaving the airport as the breeder is bringing the pup to us at the airport. Just hope I don't have to go outside to meet them. I'm not planning on bringing a "winter" jacket. It's a very quick trip. leaving SW Florida about 9:30 and should be back by 8:30. Wish me luck.

So just to clarify, you're fine with illegals being here as long as they have not committed very serious crimes?

Do you want me to tell you how bad a driver she is? Don't try to get me in trouble...

I usually try to break them one at a time. LOL Last one I broke was several years ago. I was walking the dog and I knew better than to go to one corner of the driveway that was super slick, but the dog "made me" go there. Fell and heard the snap. After a while the dog and I both crawled to the house. It was my right leg which made driving impossible. I was totally dependent on my wife for transportation, and that was scary!

No decline there Many years ago I lived in a neighborhood with an HOA. Same thing happened to a neighbor. Used to be that ALL the houses were beige with brown trim, yuck. A few folks had changed their colors and it was OK, perhaps there were new approved colors. Then my neighbor painted her house and was promptly told it was NOT an approved color. They made her repaint. At the next yearly meeting a friend convinced me that the two of us should run for the board... and we were elected. We changed that rule. After my term was up I moved to where I am now, on acreage where the neighbors aren't too close and mind their own business. Sounds like there are some issues with communication between the board and the management team and the residents. Sounds like you did what you needed to. Worst case you might have to repaint...

Three, just like everyone else.

Are you really sure you want to be here? Careful where you step...LOL Welcome! For the past many months my right neck and shoulder have really been bothering me. I'm sure it's occupation/posture related. I keep trying to treat the muscle pain with icey hot or biofreeze but it's only temporary relief. The time spent away from work over the holidays helped a lot but started acting up again when I got back to the routine. Heat has been helping the most. Just started trying an old neck/back stretcher the my wife used to use and that seems to provide almost instant relief. I'm starting to think I have a bulging disk or pinched nerve in my neck. Guess it's time to go have this looked at. Sucks getting old.

I understand you and NB tutored Mini-B 🤣

I knew you and Mamdani had a lot in common.

Funny watching you two "cowboys" going at it.

I read 1984 in high school, but not Animal Farm. That was a really long time ago.

It was a bad situation with a tragic outcome. I can't for the life of me understand why people think it is OK to taunt law enforcement and not to expect a poor result.

Oh, I know they will be back, but probably without the father.

That's right. When the milk smells a little funky and pours out chunky, time's up.

It appears Congress can't do anything.

I think in the US they call that "skid marks".

I've fallen into that trap before...

I thought Menudo was a boy band.

As it should be. Just makes sense.

NO. Perhaps OK for topping a hot dog. YES. Great go to meal this time of year. Think I'll make a huge pot of chili when I get home. Thanks for the idea. Ah yes, I remember this movie very well. You know much of this movie was filmed in Louisville KY and just down the road at Fort Knox. I was a first year dental student at the U. of Louisville and the downtown scenes and the bridge scene were filmed just a few blocks away from the school. I so much wanted to walk over there and watch what I could, but I really needed to study. That first year is VERY intense. I will tell you that while they filmed the bridge scene I was in the gross anatomy lab. I kept looking out the window but really couldn't see anything. Some buildings were in the way. I've been sleeping later each day since coming here to the Keys two days before Christmas. Now only getting up when the sun starts to rise. I'm feeling a little guilty for staying in bed so long.

Good to see you still have control over her. Wife and I shared one bag of microwave popcorn. And Happy New Year to all also. Actually only had one drink. A toast between the wife and I.

Probably, but I can sleep through that. We had that this past weekend right across the canal. I think it was some kind of big party. And by the way, what are billibeters? Perhaps I should ask NB?

I'm watching the Ohio State Miami football game. I expect to fall asleep before the end of the game and wake up around 1 am.

Good news The heat, an ac/heat pump, is working perfectly. Bad news I only have one long sleeve shirt. It's a fishing shirt meant to keep the sun off the arms. Also have a long sleeve swimming rash guard top but that won't help much. I do at least have a sweatshirt. Life is so difficult.
