Brrrrrrr

It was 9 degrees last night. That's 23 degrees below freezing for anyone who doesn't want to do the math. There is no hot water at the moment, but I plan on boiling some water later to wash dishes the old fashioned way. Before they had such things as water heaters.

It snowed yesterday, big fat, fluffy flakes. The news is calling it a blizzard and motorists were stranded all over Kansas. Looks like we got about 7 or 8 inches.

The entire concept of a polar vortex is complete and utter bullshit. Just a made up term to explain the extreme weather warfare being perpetrated on flyover country. I'm considering it enemy action at this point, especially since they are trying to say it is due to climate change. Yeah, how's that ol' globull warming working out for you? If they can manipulate the weather (and they can, it is heavily documented all over the place), then why are we having such extreme cold weather?

Oh, that's right it's really only used for nefarious reasons while being touted as helpful. I'm praying against this horrible cold snap and I hope that you are too.

Thank God, my house is warm at the moment. The forecast says negative 12 on Sunday. I'm praying against that too.

Stay warm my friends. Take care out there.

I am having a warm rain fall today... nah, it is 35 degrees out there and supposed to get some thunder bumpers late this afternoon. Did your hot water tank go out again? Or just no water to your abode?

"Polar vortex..." "Bomb cyclone..." "Atmospheric river..."

Remember when these were called "Blue Northern," "Arctic express," "Pineapple express," and the like? Oh yeah; and let's not forget the good old "Nor'easter..." Just as with "assault-style" rifles, it's the wrapper that makes it scary...

And just as in "1984," "They" control the words, and therefore control the narrative...

Just looking at Abilene Ks and Abilene TX forecast. At least for the coming week it's looking like OUR Abilene is going to be a good deal less fricken awful. I'm seeing -12 for you Saturday. Continue to Hang Tough, I'm doing my part. Be well.
