It was funny in the winter to watch people backing out of spaces in my parking lot. Lots of non-cold climate folks there. They park in the morning. Midday sun warms the cars enough to drop the wheel-well slush on the ground behind all four tires. Late afternoon, lot now shaded, slush lumps re-freeze, directly behind the tires. People hop in their cars and find that they can't "get over the hump", so to speak.
I carried a stick in my car; when I parked, I would knock the slush out with the stick, and scatter it with my foot. Problem solved.

Just learned that David Ogden Stiers played both the Governor and his assistant in the movie Pocahontas. Mind blown.

In the original Beauty & the Beast (1991), he voiced Cogsworth (the clock), but he was also the narrator in the very beginning. Just learned the narrator part last week.

Yep, learned that today as well. He was also in Lilo and Stitch, Atlantis, and Hunchback of Notre Dame
 
Well busy day at work, hopefully tomorrow goes easier. Already a couple of inches of snow on the ground in Albert Lea.
 
Under thingsI learned today restaurants are seating people again in Mn.
 
Earth. Fire. Air. Water. Only the Avatar can master all four elements and bring balance to the world.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, I have mastered the element of snow.

The Expendables movies are mindless blow things up popcorn movies, nothing heavy about them just lots of explosions. Had never seen one till tonite, they are all right.
 
Weird discussion about CO detectors and then when I go to deliver church bulletins to the shut ins, a house in town had flashing lights all over and family luckily survived a CO situation. Although people questioned if the grandson was just cooking meth.

Not a fan at all of the potential of these new Covid variants not responding in antibody studies.

Hopefully vaccine studies come out soon with news to get me off the ledge.

Awareness now is so much better than four months from now.
 
Just wanted to say this thread is like a lifeline to sanity sometimes. The family reunion you say you don’t want to attend, yet you do anyway, having fun and sharing opinions without needing to wonder whether you should just lie or stay quiet to keep peace.
 
Even though I have mastered snow bending I am SIP rather than out bending snow. Maybe do half the driveway than walkabout than Packer game than TBD.
 
It's good when the 5-6 inches of snow ends up being a couple, even better that when you get home you find out you didn't get any snow :)
