  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

My Granddaughter went one year as a lamb (it fit over her snowsuit), another year as a Care Bear, and another year as a Dragon, all of which were costumes thick enough that they'd have been too hot in other climates. The year she was a lamb, it was about -20, and she made out like a fat rat, partly because few were out and about, and partly because she was so danged cute, with a million dollar smile.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I had another crop of tomatoes coming in.  But no more.  Maybe some of them are fry-worthy.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I believe this is why houses in my area have furnaces, wood stoves, and fireplace inserts.  It gets cold after August, eventually.

What is this winter you speak of? Still 80's today and tomorrow and then it gets cool...low to mid 70's, but the nights will get cold dropping into the mid fifties. I may miss the real seasons here in SoCal but I sure as heck don't miss snow and cars playing bumper cars on the ice **nononono*

Sunny here with a nice breeze. Nighttime temps in the mid 60's and daytime temps in the mid 80'sfor the rest of the week. Beautiful.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Predictions give us a heat wave, with highs in the mid 30s, lows in the 20s for the next week!

Woo Hoo!

Now I can get some stuff worked on before the next round of cold.

The past week it's been ten-twenty degrees colder than normal for the average high. The low yesterday was about fifteen degrees.
It's not the tropics here in Wisconsin in early November, but that's cold for this time of the year.

Weather is a weird thing.  Sometimes it is warm. Sometimes it is cold.  Man has never been able to control it or influence  it.
