Maybe we can catch a sleigh ride | ***Dave Does the Blog

Well, this should make flying out to California tomorrow evening a bit more interesting …

… Winter Storm Watch in effect from Wednesday morning through late Wednesday night…
The National Weather Service in Denver has issued a Winter Storm Watch… which is in effect from Wednesday morning through late
Wednesday night.
Snow will develop early Wednesday morning and may be heavy at times through Wednesday night. Total snowfall of 8 to 12 inches
are possible.
Remember… a Winter Storm Watch means there is a potential for a hazardous winter weather event in and close to the watch area.
Significant snow accumulations may occur that could impact travel. Stay tuned to the National Weather Service or your local news media for the latest updates and possible warning concerning this potential winter storm.

Have a safe and uneventful trip out (and back)

Thanks. I’m hoping the only event on the flight out *is* the flight out. 🙂

And an amazing, unexpected, happy ending.

Three weeks ago, our 17yo, pudgy, arthritic Siberian slipped past me thru an open door, undetected. Her absence wasn't noticed until the next morning and there was no sign of her.

We had, frankly, lost hope.

This afternoon, a neighbor some houses away connected the dots between a poster I had put up and the cat that was hanging out in their window well, and contacted me.

And it was our cat, and she's now home (and getting much pampering).

Whew!

Yes, what we definitely need in this country is #rightwing citizen groups deciding by fiat whether a #library #book they disklike should be classified as "fiction" or "non-fiction."

Yes, #Missouri, #Kansas, and #Idaho are suing the #FDA because they haven't managed to *boost* their teen #birthrate now that they've made #abortion so difficult, arguing this will harm them by robbing them of precious seats in Congress, and the FDA is making all this happen by allowing medical abortions and birth control.

Madness.

See, most people would consider this "A sign of cognitive decline, lack of focus, and mental fatigue."

The NY Times apparently thinks it's improvisational genius on the part of a compassionate #Trump ,

(Think I'm exaggerating? Imagine if *Biden* had decided to turn a campaign rally into a piped-in music-fest, complete with awkward, swaying "dance moves." The #GOP would have had a field day.)

A rare bit of IP sanity, from a German court: if you license your copyrighted images to a wallpaper company, you can't sue if someone uses pictures of their wallpapered room without your permission.

I, too, use the #InternetArchive extensively for research on quotations. There is literally no other resource like it. Here's hoping their DDOS recovery is swift.

#Trump plays the #racist "Anti- Woke" card, promising to restore the names of military bases to celebrate slave-holding Confederate generals.

A very happy 100th birthday to #JimmyCarter a man who I admire enough I'm willing to overlook his use of the mispronunciation "nucular," even though he was an nuclear engineer in the US Navy and was a critical resource in the emergency cleanup and repair after the meltdown of the National Research Experimental (NRX) nuclear reactor at Chalk River, Canada.

"Trump makes false claims about federal response as he campaigns in area ravaged by #Hurricane #Helene"

I.e., #Trump *lies* to victims of a natural disaster, to somehow make himself look good.

What an asshole.

"#Trump says ‘violent day’ of #policing will end crime"

Y'know, as a convicted criminal, I'm not sure I'd be encouraging the police to rough up, assault, or kill suspects, even for just one day.

But, no, as his campaign says, it's not a *real* policy proposal. Just another chunk of red meat / dopamine for his rabid followers, who love the idea of beating up "other" criminal suspects.

This man should be let nowhere near the White House, ever again.

A sad #RIP to Dame #MaggieSmith the delightful British actress, at 89.

Though better known these days for Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, she nabbed Oscars earlier in her 70-year career for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (1969) and California Suite (1978).

A hearty thank you, ma'am, for all the hours of entertainment you provided me.
