Don't feel bad. You're not alone. It sucks for alll of us...

The coldest air in years is expected to blast into Central Florida on Friday. The air that will push into Central Florida is currently charging up in Siberia. Starting Tuesday, the frigid air will creep into the U.S., sending actual air temperatures 20 to 40 degrees below zero in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.
The front will push through later Friday morning, taking temperatures from the 60s in the morning to the 40s and lower 50s by Friday afternoon. Temperatures will bottom out in the 20s and low 30s across Central Florida Saturday morning.
If you're headed out of town for the holiday, it's a good idea - if you have an abundance of free time - to bring in or cover your plants as a frost and/or freeze will be likely both Christmas Eve and Christmas mornings. 
 
I never bother because new plants and trees are cheaper 
to replace than just about anything here in Florida.

It's no coincidence the lowest rated school districts in the nation are all (with the exception of one in Mississippi) in Democrat controlled cities and states. In those states, like New Jersey as a perfect example, the teacher's union has the state legislatiure by the balls, using the kids as ransom for just about anyting and everything they can get away with. That's why you have state funded school systems in the big cities where kindergarten teachers are paid in excess of 100k a year. You read that right. And the city isn't even footing the bill - the state is. It's craziness to accept this low a percetage of performance on the part of the kids. The blame lands squarely in the laps of the teachers.
Maybe it's time that some form of performance-based compensation program be installed in the schools. Start with a low (but reasonable) salary base, and the salary increases as student's performance icreases. I'm sure there'll be a million different Schneiders thrown in to goof the system, but it would be a start, and the kids would benefit. It's at the very least worth a try, because what they do have now ain't workin', and that's a fact, Jack...

Can you imagine how loud that thing was?

Have you ever sat on the toilet, pondering your day, using your phone even though that’s kind of gross to do when  you're trying to take a shit, and thought, “I wish Alexa was in here with me?” That is, what I assume, the designers of the Kohler Numi 2.0 Smart Toilet were thinking when they made this $11,500 toilet that has Alexa inside, knowing, of course, that there are plenty of idiots with too much money out there who would buy something stupid like this. Good for Kohler. 
I wonder if Alaexa records the sound of you taking a dump. What would they do with that knwledge? Juss' sayin'...

 guaranteeing you'll get it on time.
 Juss' so ya know...

Still looks pretty much exactly the same today as it did back then in the 60's when this was taken. It's just as loud, just as crowded, just as lively as it ever was. The proof is in the pudding when it comes to bars. You don't have to be big and fancy to be a success. You have to have something people want, and that's usually just a litte cache', like if Hemingway usta hang out there before he killed himself.

It never will as long as I'm in charge...
... 

Then it's not really a mystery, is it?
... 

Do you remember when you got your first real 'fountain pen'? My brother Tommy called them 'real ink pens' like the other kind were fake or something, but anyway... 
How many oxford shirts did you fuck up with ink stains in the bottoms of the chest pockets? I think it's safe for me to say 'Every single one.'

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte apologized Monday for the Netherlands’ “slavery past,” which he said continues to have “negative effects.” Rutte’s comments were part of the Dutch government’s wider acknowledgment of the country’s colonial past, and an official response to a report entitled “Chains of the Past” by the Slavery History Dialogue Group, published in July 2021.
“For centuries under Dutch state authority, human dignity was violated in the most horrific way possible,” Rutte said during a speech at the country’s National Archives in The Hague.
“And successive Dutch governments after 1863 failed to adequately see and acknowledge that our slavery past continued to have negative effects and still does. For that I offer the apologies of the Dutch government,” the Dutch prime minister said. Rutte also spoke briefly in English on Monday, saying: “Today, I apologize.”
You have to ask yourself - if not them if you can - what the fuck do these people have to gain by saying and doing shit like this? It was over 300 years ago ferfucksake, and no one you know is connected with it in any way except by lineage (or geneology if you prefer). So please, Mr. Ducthboy, shut the fuck up and go have a fuckin' latte' with your wooden shoe-clogging girlfriends.
