Welcome to my world, population: 100 squirrels and a nut. All opinions and advocacies are 100% my own. I’m not perfect, I’m not for everyone, and I’m still learning. If that doesn’t suit you, move along. 'Nuff said.
'Morning, Blue Crew. Up and over the hump today. The radio is already playing holiday music. Coffee will double as personal antifreeze this morning.

Nothing like having the transmission in a work vehicle decide to go "boom" while driving in the middle of a construction zone with no place to pull off.
At least we determined that "limp" mode does work. And there was a spare vehicle I could continue with.

No freezing stuff on the ground here this morning, but in the northwest part of town, enough snow came down that there were a couple of snowmen in random places.

'Morning, Blue Crew. We've gone from rain, to freezing rain, to snow overnight. I'll need to get my morning routine finished early so I can clean off the car and make it driveable. And I do NOT trust the roads this morning.
Extra coffee may be needed. In fact, probably will be.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins plans to make all SNAP recipients reapply and prove "that they literally are vulnerable and they can’t survive without it.”

The 'literally vulnerable'
They keep moving the goalposts.

Hey Megyn Kelly,
14-year-old Eloise would like a word:
“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

I’m sad to hear that NHRA legend John Force has announced his retirement, but I think that last crash made him realize he’s mortal after all. And he wants to meet the rest of his grandkids.

Louder for the kids in the back that were sleeping during the seminar.
The whole war on “woke” and “cancel culture” was contrived to protect the worst people in our society and make it possible for them to keep doing despicable things to other people.
