homemade breakfast sausage and sausage gravy.

the pancake supper crowd at church tonight was all hyped up for another big snowstorm. sigh.

light rain. welcome and much needed still.

they eeked out the gold because the French judge scored them 8 points higher than Chock and Bates, even with their obvious error. under the old ordinal rules C&B would have won. there are also some really awful issues attached to the personal lives of that French pair, much worse than the cleaned-up for TV commentary tells.

this is a great thread that walks through the entire performance and provides the context for each scene: https://bsky.app/profile/beckyhammer.bsky.social/post/3mefhbpictk2h

the song he was singing then--Yo Perreo Sola/I Twerk Alone--is literally about women having the freedom to dance without men hitting on them or slut-shaming them or assaulting them. the irony is overwhelming.

my dude, you have been making stupid and gross dick jokes here for 20 years, despite being repeatedly asked by the women here to stop. step off the “but it degrades women!!!” soapbox. oh and btw, as a woman i can assure you that there was nothing degrading to women during to that performance.

overnight low of 1–coldest night this winter. now i am ready for it to warm up.

squall line came through silently—last time there were house-shaking gusts and phones going off. visibility dropped to 1/4-1/2 mile vis, so moderately heavy snow. everything is white again for now.

imagine having to waste time on learning about the ocean when all you want to know is how to make it snow

it's still funny all these years later.

well that was entertaining. and from a person who said he wanted to be a met major but changed because he learned he was supposed to take a bunch of courses in things like oceanography and chemistry and he was mad because he wanted to take "weather" courses.

light snow for about 30 mins now.

it's been flurrying for the last half hour.

an overnight low of 6 which was 6 degrees higher than forecast. i like that trend.
