Well, the weather outside is frightening...

 But the fire is so delightful. And since we've got no place to go. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...  

I think it was right after they recorded the first song that Sinatra shot the record producer. The horn arrangements are about as bad as anything he ever recorded.

People owed a piece of the $2 billion that Wells Fargo has agreed to pay to customers affected by some of its banking practices could soon receive those funds. The nation’s fourth-largest bank reached a settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, announced Tuesday, to resolve customer abuses related to auto lending, deposit accounts and mortgage lending, affecting about 16 million accounts.
In some twists and turns through mergers and take-overs, I have technically been a customer of Wells Fargo since I was a kid, because I've never been one to 'bank shop', but that may change pretty soon after all the negative shit that I've both experienced and heard about these guys.

So this is a serious question. You've figured out by now that the format of this thing is pretty much that it doesn't have a real format. I try hard to keep it not making sense. Should I continue to try or should I just say fuck it and make it topical and relavent? That would probably not be nearly as much fun as this is, because this way i can throw all kindsa different, weird, funnyn entertaining (to me) and odd-ball shit atcha and not worry about being 'off topic' 'cause there really ain't one. You see my dilemna here?

Bitcoin mining is the process by which Bitcoin transactions are validated digitally on the Bitcoin network and added to the blockchain ledger. It is done by solving complex cryptographic hash puzzles to verify blocks of transactions that are updated on the decentralized blockchain ledger.
 
Does any of that makes sense to you and/or give you confidence 
in the value of the underlying whateverthefuckitis?

I wonder if they're still parked there...

The system started to move Wednesday morning, with more severe weather and frigid temperatures expected into today in the Midwest, and through Friday farther east. As of last night, 452 flights in the U.S. had been canceled, according to FlightAware. 
Travelers will face a tougher time today with more than 840 U.S. flights canceled, and that number is expected to rise. The storm system is on track to continue pushing east through the end of the week, and airlines have already issued waivers in much of the Midwest, Northeast and even parts of the South for some carriers.

This time last year we were over tooling around in the Historic District 
of St. Augustine - really is a cool little part of a really cool town, if you get my drift. On Christmas Eve it was 75 and sunny - don't think it'll make it much above 45 or so this year.

Yeah - tell me again which one's smarter...

The answer to this morning's question - The Lady Eve. The first movie 
was 'Christmas in Connecticut. I am a serious Stanny fan.

  6. Keep doing what you're doing, we'll continue to stop by. You're one of my regulars. My daughter is going to get a handful of your wife's creations for Christmas. I don't think you need to change a thing.
