4 – 8 inches of snow projected. Probably 4 inches on the ground already. And the obligatory freezing rain at the end to provide the literal icing on the cake. Blah, blah, blah, I hate snow. Blah, blah, blah, I hate New England.
And we’re back. Sorry about the obligatory “winter in New England” rant. But it’s in my contract so blah, blah, blah.
Well, next week starts March. The days are definitely getting longer and life is speeding up here at the Compound. I purchased the (hopefully) last gas can’s worth of fuel for the snow blower. I’m more than halfway through the latest (for me) Galaxy’s Edge novel and it’s good. Wish I could say as much for my novel. I have to face it. Running a blog takes up most of my free time and that means writing is the loser. I’ll have to figure something out.
I’ve been looking at a couple of options for selling photos and photo books. It looks like it should be relatively easy to set up and I’ll include links on the site. Doing some advance research for the July trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons. I’ll definitely have to pare down the list of photo equipment I planned to bring. But there’s plenty of time to do that.
It’s remarkable to watch Dementia Joe become an even bigger loser every day. The only true thing Barry Obama ever said was that no one should ever underestimate Biden’s ability to foul things up. It truly is his super power. But it’s not a mystery. He’s just a lazy idiot. Lying about things that fool stupid people at the expense of the good of the United States has always been his go to plan. And when you’re just a crooked senator or the Vice President it wasn’t that critical. But when you’re pretending to be the President of the United States it kind of is.
I think the general feeling across the country on both sides is, “How is this guy going to keep this up for almost three more years?” That’s a really long time. Will there be anything left of the country by then? I guess we’ll find out.
The mask mandate is retreating at top speed now. Only the school requirements are still there and that is one of the most aggravating ones because of the illogic of masking the least vulnerable. It highlights how beholden the Democrat Party is to the teachers’ unions. Good. That will continue to alienate parents in the run up to the November elections.
The Ukraine debacle will really hurt the economy once we have $6/gal gas to deal with. That might actually tip us into a recession. Stagflation right from the dictionary definition. Well, they say Americans are too fat. This will give us all a chance to go on an involuntary diet. Oatmeal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I’m curious to see how Trump’s social media experiment goes. It will take a while to know if there’s something solid there. The initial excitement will have to wear off first. After all, I’ve never been completely sure what Twitter actually does that’s useful. Amazon’s business model and Google’s ads I understand. Guess we’ll find out.
So at some point I’ll disappear for a few hours to move the white stuff. If anything interesting shows up I’ll opine. Enjoy the rest of the morning.


Mask mandates are still in place for federal buildings, all Healthcare facilities and all military reservations. Anywhere Dementia Joe still has dictatorial authority.
I’ll give them a little leeway for healthcare facilities but the idea that the post office needs masking is ludicrous.
