We did not get the foot of snow predicted, but I think we got six inches. Below is at 8:30 AM this morning.
Nothing like walking outdoors with fresh now. Here are a few pics.
Here is the 5 PM update. During my walk I noted about four inches on the ground. Picture here doesn’t give the best view.
Let’s call this the 3 PM update. Snow continues to fall with more accumulation on the ground.
Noon and not much change. Starting to think forecast was by groundhog
Not only has today been groundhog day, and my niece’s birthday, it’s 2-2-22.
Happy groundhog day, snow just started to fall at 8:40 AM EST.
We are supposed to get as much as a foot of snow today, but it has just started. It did rain over night so there could be ice under the snow. Not much yet here at 8:40 AM EST.
(Note, I posted the above using the Android version of the micro.blog app that I thought included a picture, but the picture did not upload.)
Given the publicity, we better get a foot of snow in the next 24 hours.
I almost reflexively resist Internet fads like Wordle. All fads fade, Internet ones usually fade into the corporate money sucking black hole. It helps to remember we are the Ferengi.
Sadly, W.E.B. Du Bois appears to be right.
No person selected and approved as Supreme Court Justice in my life time, if ever, was selected based on their qualifications. Qualifications are a given based on vast number of experienced candidates who have proven themselves in court. Each person is selected based on ideological and cultural preferences. Biden stating his nominee will be a black woman is no different than Trump pledging to select from the Federalist Society’s conservative pro business, anti abortion list. This is the way it is always done.
Something is fundamentally wrong in a democracy that has all the energy around laws to restrict voting rather than expand voting. We should be embarrassed that so few people actually vote, but as has been the case since the beginning the system is built to be run by an elite few. It is said the United States is a republic or a representative democracy, but who is really represented and who is not represented is the metastasis destroying the country from the inside out.
It’s cold and I like how the AccuWeather notification on my Pixel 4a makes sure that I know.
Do any of my readers use Obsidian’s Live Preview mode? If so, can you tell me how you click a link in the normal way that launches the page linked to? For me, when I enable Live Preview mode and click a link Obsidian thinks I want to edit the link rather than open the page. Seems like something is fundamentally broke or I am doing something wrong.
We are receiving our second substantial snow fall of the season. Almost three inches so far, and could get three more.
The NFL goes all in on gambling, decides Super Bowl with coin flip. It is going to happen sooner or later as long as the NFL keeps it’s ridiculous over time rules, unless the sports bookies cause them to change.
The journal and inking design of the Andromeda OS that Microsoft was developing for the Surface Duo hardware before deciding to use Android instead reminds me a bit of the Newton MessagePad. I like what I see Microsoft was doing here and wish they had kept working on it.
We have problems folks when we start to make laws to prevent discomfort. The irony is that such laws are being promoted by conversatives, who normally argue to keep government out of people’s lives. If you are unwilling to feel discomfort you are not willing to grow.
An individual should not be made to feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race.
In my opinion, the reactions to Critical Race Theory are telling and seem to prove the point.
Another Meat Loaf song in the soundtrack of my life is Paradise By The Dashboard Light that is associated to a friend’s wedding.
