When I woke up at 3 am. It was -13°. It may well have gotten colder, but I slept through it, but that was the end of our cold snap, thank goodness. The temperature rose 44 degrees in 12 hours hitting 31 degrees. It felt positively balmy! Tomorrow it is expected to reach the 40s, the first time in 27 days that the temps have gotten above freezing.
Superbowl came and went. The Seahawks won, which made Tim happy. The nation survived the Bad Bunny half time show. People were upset though.
Speaking of Epstein,Ghislaine Maxwell refused to answer questions today, citing her Fifth Amendment Rights. She also said she would very much like to answer questions and would do so if trump grants her clemency.
Maybe it is just me, but if a woman refuses to answer questions because she doesn't want to incriminate herself, the last thing she deserves is clemency.
The protest was freezing Saturday. Single digits temperatures. As it went on, the wind began to pick up and the cold was even colder. We all agreed it was even colder in Minneapolis and we owed them that.
If you have never seen 'The US and the Holocaust' on PBS, it is worth your time. We took notice of is the methods used to install an authoritarian government quickly. We also noted the simultaneous rise of Christian Nstionalism in the US. The parallels were shocking. We have seen this before. The only difference is that this time the autocratic leader is our own.
40's - oh my straps and garters! I can't imagine.
ReplyDeleteThe fake outrage over a 15 minute entertainment segment vs the ignoring of grown men raping children is stunning. And sickening.
Not fair! The warming hasn’t reached us. It may be coming though but probably not above freezing.
ReplyDeleteThank Tim for his support! It wasn't the most exciting game but watching our great defense was fun. We are delighted here in WA! Bad Bunny doesn't do my favorite kind of music; his show was spectacular though and had positive messages. That is COLD. I'm hoping that the E-files somehow become public via Europe or someone (Massie?) so that there are consequences. There have been in other places, just not here. :(
