Not sure if you guys heard, but it seems we solved global warming without really even trying. Big if true. (It’s not)

So I get a txt from my mom last night- “hey our electric bill is like $600 what yours- something must be wrong”. So I look and she’s getting charged like 3x per kw than I am- and we both have national grid. So she calls and they say that yes- national grid uses different suppliers and each supplier can charge a ‘Market rate’ so there are differences. Finally, you can request a change if you want to- which she obviously is going to do. This sounds absolutely absurd- anyone work in the industry?

In Aruba 21-28th- bank on the best stretch of the winter occurring then.

rain/ sleet here- def not snow. ground isn't white at all. roads wet. I'm at 210' at the Lowell/ Tewksbury/ Andover line.

Mowed yesterday after raking all the pine needles from my arborvitae’s that fell during the storm. 3 bags later… Anyone else seeing their arborvitae’s shed internal needles at a ridiculous rate this yr? Read up a bit and it’s either the spring/ summer drought or they are all doing a periodic shedding at the same time. Weird

I dunno if anyone else saw this but pretty cool move by The Godfather. https://universalhub.com/2022/mensch-does-mitzvah-channel-5

Update: power back and potential white Christmas if this band doesn’t die. Talk about a range of emotions.

Hosting brunch and Christmas dinner tomm. No power. Can’t get the generator to turn over even a bit. I can feel wifeys icey stares as we listen to the wind howl…if you listen closely you can hear the food going bad. Thoughts and prayers pls.

2 things: 1) awful trade we all know about Griner's height and athleticism by Viktor has that killer instinct you just can't teach- boom. 2) I believe @Chrisrotary12 among others are interested in the below topic. When you have the best podcast on the planet covering this issue- like I had to link it. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-08/odd-lots-podcast-how-climate-change-impacts-reinsurance-catastrophe-bonds?srnd=oddlots-podcast

May I suggest you all put on ESPNU for some MACtion ( c. Mich vs w mich) in an absolute blizzard. Nothing better than football in the snow.

This is pretty interesting… also with respect to analogs. Edit: 1975 anyone? What’d that winter do?

With the forecast- thinking I might take the opp and drop some more milorganite before the eventual cool down. Any thoughts?

You have my attention

Headlines of this ilk are something else … twisting and turning to avoid saying the words ‘climate change’. Anyways this is all very normal and nothing to worry about. https://news.yahoo.com/why-did-one-billion-alaskan-162814859.html

Ok ok I’m being too tough. Just seems whenever I look at the radar which admittedly isn’t as much as I used to- it’s down.

Why is the BOS radar down for days at a time at least once every 2 months? What a joke

say, do you remember? dancin' in September golden dreams were shiny days say, do you remember? dancin' in September never was a cloudy day

Was just going to ask this…ideally need 45 days between seeding and first frost… something to think about at least

RIP Bruce S. What a legend

My buddy got 500k outta Celsius yesterday morning- cutting it close much? This is what capitulation looks like- or not who knows.

Another in a long line of stellar forecasts

This is legit the laziest and dumbest type of reply. Ya he’s a commie because he wants the cultural norm of killing kids in their classrooms to stop. take a f-ing lap, christ. Laziest shit ever.

Anyone saying this signals the decay of America isn’t paying attention, this IS America. Where else can you devote 40% of your municipal budget to have a bunch of LARP-ing power hungry morons with unresolved daddy issues in their costumes with their big military surplus shooty shooty bang bangs harassing people over missed turn signals, that when the real shit goes down, run and hide, then handcuff and detain parents of victims only to turn out to be so dumb that they then lie about it to the national media?? Which leaves me with two questions: if cops would lie about this, in front of worldwide media scrutiny what do they lie about when no one’s watching? And- how would a police force that were made up of people that were actually loved by their dads function?

Success? Only time will tell

Crazy that thoughts and prayers haven’t stopped school shootings yet. Oh well let’s try again.
