Just a post before Christmas

“A shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership. 
He can’t even control his party and get people together in a room. 
A shutdown means the President is weak”

 -Donald Trump 2013

*****************************

Seems there is a GoFundMe page that is raising money for the wall.  Getting about 1.5 million a day.  GO FOR IT.  At this rate it will take between 25 to 33 years to raise the money.  But this does not count the $150 million a year in maintenance.

All for a made up fake crisis by a racist President (and I am being SO kind at the moment)

******************************

With Mattis gone and Trump leaving Syria the Kurds are looking at releasing 3,200 ISIS prisoners who vow vengeance on the West.  VICTORY for Trump who hates America and loves Russia. 

Mattis was the closest thing to a military coup we have had in America.  All is well in American Government with Fox and Friends are running the show. They know SO much more then any of our clueless generals.

Weather - with many of you no longer at work (where most people read this blog) be safe in your travels this holiday weekend.

Temps will be in the middle 30s UNTIL NEXT Saturday when the bottom drops out.  Next Thursday and Friday will be messy as the cold front goes through with mostly rain, maybe some flurries but it will be a 48 hour event so snow during darkness and rain during lightness.  Then highs in the low 20s NEXT weekend.

THIS weekend  mostly cloudy with peaks of sun when we need it in the daylight hours. Highs in the mid 30s.

HOWEVER - watch out for the Polar Vortex. With it weakening it will slip off the top of the world in January and February but nobody knows which way it will flop.  With the jet stream getting all wavy warm air will push north and get it moving . . . .but which direction . . that is the big question.

Congrats to the new Columbus Grocery store (the old Sentry)  Now that Eisenga no longer owns it they are getting all sorts of new food and the shelves are full.  Pic n save who refuses to buy ANYTHING local will fade.  No Sassy Cow Milk, No Bagels Forever bagels, No Jones Sausages, no chipped beef. 

I prefer to buy local and these guys are at least trying and now listening.  Still the best meat around.  They even have all the stir fry oils I need (Pic and Save did not).  PnS still have a better deli but many of the canned food PnS no longer carry and even the V8 veggie juice I loved is gone. 

PLUS a manager was rude to me when I suggested PnS was WAY WAY too cold.  She said all stores are like that, it's not a problem .  ummmmmm    NO!  it IS a problem.

SO - this shortest day of the year, how about something to remind us what summer is like.  This is from my clay garden which will go away this next summer  . . . or something . . be redone?   Have not figured out what yet.

2019 will be a big year as we put an addition onto the house . . sort of.   A BIG deck project in our future as the current one is coming apart so might as well build new and bigger.   Being people that really use our deck a lot, why not make it a REALLY usable deck.

ANYWAY

     
Happy Holidays
