Just so ya know, Groundhogs don't know beans about the weather...

February is Black History Month, but sadly I'm not black, so I probably won't be doing too much histrionics this month. 

It also marks the beginning of the end of winter. Hopefully...

Thankfully we're in to February. I think I heard some news guy say that this year's January was the coldest ever in North Central Florida history. There was one day when I swore it was gonna fuckin' snow. I have no more plants for the weather to kill. It got 'em all. Move along little weather doggy - I have a vegetable garden I gotta get started.

It's not only the end of a great run, it's also the end of civilization as I know it. Ozzy Osbourne announced the cancellation of his upcoming shows, and said his touring career is over because he “is not physically capable of it.”

In a statement released on Wednesday, the 74-year-old said he had a major accident four years ago in which he damaged his spine and that he can no longer cope with the travel required for a tour.

“My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage,” he said. “My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics  Treatment, my body is still physically weak.”

A sad day for sure. This is the ringtone on my phone:

"A lot of people feel a sense of discomfort or shame when talking about sex because of social expectations, because they feel judged by others or because they are uncomfortable or unhappy about the decisions they have made in the past."

 

That may well be the most 'Gen Z' statement you'll ever hear.

What kind of fucked up world do some people live in 

that they would even think of doing something this 

stupid - as if it were somehow meaningful?

Between Wednesday and Thursday, the "green comet" 

will make its closest approach to Earth. 

 

According to NASA, Comet C/2022 E3 ZTF will be about 2.4 light-minutes from our planet as it zooms on past. Just to prove how truly meaningless that quoted distance number is, I present this explanation I found:

A light minute is a measure of the distance light travels in one minute. That distance is 1.117886×10^7mx2.4. There are no minutes in a light minute.

There. Feel better?

They certainly don't make print ads like they usta. There is nothing 'digital' going on in this ad - all of the artwork was rendered by hand. When I was in the Agency business back in the 80's I knew and worked with a few dozen illustrators - most of which had different but complimentary styles. I almost have to believe that that way of making a living is gone, sadly, forever.

Super Bowl is in less than two weeks. 

I wish I was more excited.

If you're planning on any kinda partying that involves wings or ribs or chili, take a look at my buddy Joe's handmade, small batch sauces. They really are damn good, and you can order from his webite and get it in time for what promises to be an interesting game. Click on the banner below to check it out:
