Freezin' our nuts off in NoCen...

 
It's pretty much the same every year. Right around now - mid-January - we start to get 'frost warnings' where the temp may dip below freezing for an hour or two overnight. People are out covering their palm and citrus trees with canvas with fruitless (pun intended) results. Meanwhile, the snowbirds from the upper midwest like Wisconsin and Minnesota are running around in shorts and flipflops, and I go straight to jeans and hoodies. I guess it's just a matter of perspective, ain't it...

Joe Biden told USA TODAY he believes he could have won his reelection bid − but isn't sure he would have had the vigor to complete four more years in the Oval Office.
 
"So far, so good," he said. "But who knows what I'm going to be when I'm 86 years old?"

I may or may not have ever mentioned this here before, but I've been awash in good and even some great memroies of late. This was 'Spunky #5'. Loved that little car. I had four of them over the years when I lived on St. John (note the license plate on this one in NJ). The best thing about these tough little guys was that they only had about seven moving parts, and all of the parts where interchangeable over the years they made them. They did have a tendency to kinda 'kite' at speeds over about 50mph, so it never was meant to be a highway cruiser. It was not a comfy ride, either, but fuck they were a lot of fun.
The kid I sold this particular one to was so friggin' jacked when he bought it - for $ 4,500 cash. On the way to his house (about 20 miles from mine) the poor little bastard got T-boned by a little old lady and totalled the friggin' car. I felt so bad for him. But I did keep the money. Juss' sayin'...

Yeah - like you never woke up to something just like this at 3:30...

Maybe, just maybe, it might be a good idea if you remember who's writing 
your fuckin' paycheck, huh, babe?

Biden said yesterday that he is considering preemptive pardons for public figures like Liz Cheney and Dr. Anthony Fauci - who have been threatened with investigation and prosecution by Donald Trump.

These are classic NJ hard rolls. Every morning.
With butter and a Cherry Coke or coffee.
If you've ever had one, you know...

Why do I do what I do here?


Being able to present what my wife creates is the best reason I have for doing this, and when you buy her jewelry, you do three things. You show your support for this blog, you get a great gift at a very good price. 
Go ahead - take a look at her stuff online - maybe you really will find something someone'd like to have. Just click on that picture of some of her work.

  4. The Milky-way galaxy thing? The only thing missing was the word "millions" after the word several in the first point.
    If the Hubble Ultra Deep photo can find 10,000+ galaxies in that one small piece of empty night sky we really need to be reminded of the size of things.

  5. "One of several galaxies in the universe..."??!
    This really jumped out at me. Talk about an understatement!
    There are more galaxies in the universe than there are stars in ours.

  6. L.A. fires are nothing new but reporters think that history began the day they were born.When I was 10, more than 60 years ago my folks bought me a new bike. The Santa Ana winds were blowing so hard the garage shook while my dad put it together. When I took it out to ride I could go "like the wind" until I had to turn around and pedal "into" the wind."
    I knew a firefighter who was burned in one of the Santa Ana Malibu fires that killed 12 firefighters back in the 60s.

  7. If Bezos can't handle the criticism he shouldn't have bought the post. The whole truth and nothing but the truth, everything else is propaganda.

  8. Pardons are meant to correct a wrong, not protect a traitor.

  9. I think our tv sign off was an Indian chief. Hard to remember why.

  10. We are less than a speck on the back of a speck in the universe and yet people think this is accidental.
