\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As the titular head of the household I announced that I was heading out to clear the snow.\u00a0 Camera Girl goes through this act where she asks me if I want her to come out and help clear the snow.\u00a0 The absurdity of this offer always exasperates me but I always assure her that I\u2019ll have her shoveling snow over my dead body which I believe is her idea.<\/p>\n

So after blowing the snow off the driveway for a couple of hours I noticed that my feet were pretty numb which was surprising.\u00a0 It was in the mid-twenties when I went out and even though the wind was gale strength at times I assumed my face would have been more effected than my feet.\u00a0 When I finshed the upper driveway I decided I better get inside for awhile.\u00a0 Frostbite is a real thing around here.\u00a0 Camera Girl informed me that the temperature had dropped quickly after I went out and it was currently twelve degrees.\u00a0 And since the light would be gone in an hour I decided to call a halt to the snow work for the day.\u00a0 But when I looked out at the driveway (see above) it already had a couple of new inches of snow on it.\u00a0 This is the futility of living in New England.\u00a0 Just as nature abhors a vcuum, winter around here abhors cleared pavement.\u00a0 Tomorrow morning I\u2019ll be out there again moving another four or five inches of the white death.\u00a0 But I comfort myself with the knowledge that there won\u2019t be any ice during this round of precipitation.\u00a0 That is the saving grace when you reach February.\u00a0 At least I hope so.<\/p>\n

The articles I saw today were concentrated on two subjects.\u00a0 The first group were all about how Dementia Joe getting to pick a diversity hire for Breyer\u2019s seat on the Supreme Court would reboot his presidency and return him to FDR status.\u00a0 Hah!<\/p>\n

The second group were progressives trying to talk themselves off of the ledge about COVID.\u00a0 They know that the COVID fascism has been the strongest reason for Dopey Joe\u2019s fall from grace but they just can\u2019t let go of the COVID security blanket. \u00a0It\u2019s become a mental crutch that they don\u2019t know how to drop.\u00a0 There\u2019s all this whining and breast beating about all the deaths and how it would be rewarding those evil anti-vaxers by living normally and treating COVID as just the common cold.\u00a0 It looks like they\u2019re starting to crack.\u00a0 Even the COVID nazis in New England are noting that the ICU\u2019s are far from full.\u00a0 In March when the flu season is over they\u2019re going to throw in the towel and expose their lower faces to the rays of sunlight.\u00a0 Boy won\u2019t that be something.\u00a0 I hope they still remember how to smile.<\/p>\n

I know it\u2019s \u201cunbridled entusiasm\u201d talking but it\u2019s just amazing how encouraging it is for absolutely everything to be going wrong for the Marxists at the same time.\u00a0 And the most encouraging thing of all is the stability of Biden\u2019s rock-bottom approval ratings.\u00a0 These psychopaths seem to have finally alienated even the marching morons of the squishy middle.\u00a0 And that\u2019s something that might give us the chance to take back Washington for at least a few years.\u00a0 And that could allow us to make some changes that limit the amount of control the Left has over us.<\/p>\n

Okay, I\u2019ve bridled my enthusiasm.\u00a0 I\u2019ve got some photo and quotation work to do now so I\u2019ll end this here.\u00a0 Enjoy the rest of the weekend.\u00a0 Go Brandon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
