This has been around for awhile. It is worth watching because what he says is absolute truth. He has spoken about the death of comedy, because of censorship, and the fear of offense over the most minor of issues.

New York state residents missing mail–complaints soar
Another kind of crime. The bad guys are always out there, thinking up some devilment.
A painfully honest adoption profile for this dog.
Boy am I glad I don’t ride subways in NY
First, I did not know that people brought escooters and other lithium battery powered vehicles on subway cars. That should not be allowed. This video scared the heck out of me. Another thing I’m very glad I don’t have to live with.
This weather was all around us yesterday, but not here..
This was literally all around us yesterday, but not here. We had a few sprinkles, but no real rain. Thank heaven for that. I think it would have been the last straw, the way I was feeling yesterday. Some of these places are a little far from us, but others are quite close.
Oh Boy! New Jersey has another fault line!
Just what everybody wants to hear. Evidently in addition to the Ramapo fault we have another one in Hunterdon County. There’s an awful lot of activity lately. (Although the earthquake was two years ago.). Still don’t like it.
‘Oy, Rodney: the Do-Over REPRINT
From August 10, 2025
The publishing world is agog today over the decision by Violet Crepuscular, the Queen of Suspense, to re-write, from the beginning, her epic romance, Oy, Rodney.
But what about the 500-plus chapters already written? What about the herd of woolly mammoths invading Scurveyshire? And all the other stuff?
“Never mind that!” Ms. Crepuscular says, in an interview by some guy. “Mr. Pitfall has convinced me that there’s nothing like a new beginning, so that’s what we’re going to do. To that end, I am inviting readers–I’ve got a zillion of ’em–to submit ideas for a new Oy, Rodney Chapter One. And then we’ll take it from there.”
Submissions, she adds, must be accompanied by 400 dollars in new Monopoly money.
As Ms. Crepuscular’s long-time editor, I have nothing to say about that.
No, I have nothing to say at all.
Boy, Was I Busy Today
I really was busy all day today–one thing and another. I got out to the store very early. Thankfully, no police officer stopped me for the outdated inspection sticker. That is a hefty fine I assume.
Tomorrow I will drop the car off for inspection.
I have a few things lined up for tomorrow–hopefully they will get done (or mostly done).
A great deal warmer today. Not warm, but warmer than it has been.
Now I will go start my supper.
God bless everybody.

This is Boo and Snoopy on their special orthopedic dog mattress. Will tell you about Snoopy tomorrow. He is the most recent member of my daughter’s pack.
Today Started off as a Real Stinker
I rise very, very early. This morning YouTube (which I rely on heavily for certain content) would NOT work. And it would not tell me why.
This you really need at 5 am. I tried in vain to fix the problem, but there was no way of finding out what the problem was. This ate up close to an hour. It turned out I must have still been paying with Lee’s old inactive credit card. Jeez fellas, if you had told me that at the beginning, it would have saved a great deal of time and anguish. I don’t think Google has too many real, live human beings working there. You get asked meaningless questions that do not pertain to the problem you are trying to solve and there is no way of hooking up to a real, live person who would grasp the situation in a minute. It was a very frustrating hour or so.
After that I did get a chance to work on my tax stuff, but still felt like I was running behind all day.
We are supposed to get another snowstorm this weekend. And the frigid temperatures, as well. Hot diggity.
If I sound a little grumpy and short-tempered right now, it’s because I am a little grumpy and short tempered right now.
So I will take my grumpy little self and start my supper and watch some TV. That should help.
Please stay safe and warm.
God bless everybody.

A Pretty Good Day, After All
Just a brief note.
Did a lot of diddly-stuff today, and (dare I say it?) the downstairs is looking a lot better. Upstairs, not so hot. Actually untouched–that’s a much bigger job, but it will be done. Have to keep reminding myself there is no time limit.
It’s still pretty much a disaster around here, but not quite as big a disaster.
There’s a great deal of talk on the weather sites about this impending storm. They all agree it is a pretty big one. I just don’t want a power failure. Power failure=no heat. I still have really bad memories of Hurricane Sandy where we were without power (no heat) for five days. It was November then and cold, but nowhere as bitterly cold as it is now.
Are any of you concerned about this ? Will it be a problem in your area?
It is really not supposed to start until the weekend, but I will make sure I am as prepared as I can be.
God bless everybody
Patty
