9:21 pm

It snowed again this morning (and it wasn't even forecast!). Just a dusting, but a snow still the same. Colder than kraut, too, as my grandmother would say. Yessiree, Bob.



Butternut loves to sit by "her fireplace" here in the office. She reminds us of Dickens' humble Joe Gargery from Great Expectations, always resting by the grate of an evening. Just wait until I get that confounded chimney cleaned out and operational. Then we'll see who sits by a fire.


A dear friend of mine drew my attention to two very disturbing items, and I wanted to pass them along, since they will, in one way or another, affect all of you, our loved ones.
First, this item about high-fructose corn syrup and mercury.
[Please read your food labels carefully. And remember what 94 year-old Jack Lallayne says: "If God didn't make it, I won't eat it."]
And second, this item about the sneaky march towards disarming the citizenry of the USA.
[A disarmed citizenry is a targeted citizenry. Just ask the people in Zimbabwe. Or Washington DC. And as the Founding Fathers noted, the government should rightly fear the citizens. It should never be the other way around.]

Rest well, loved ones. The Ever-Living knows both our frame and our circumstances.
