The Vault Dweller said...: Do you normally dust off your hat, or was this abstained from for the benefit of the photo? Also, I'm about 90 miles from Madison near Chicago, so I imagine you are in for more than a dusting just as we are.; 2/4/21, 3:14 PM
Ken B said...: Is AOC most like
A. Trump
B. Evita Peron

Ken B said...: YouTube is now censoring videos of senate testimony.

Nationalize google and all the tech monopolies. Make the first amendment apply thereby.
It’s not an ideal solution, but nothing else looks like it can work. You won’t have a country in 2 years if they can censor as they wish before , during, and after the election.; 2/4/21, 3:26 PM
Temujin said...: That hat could work as a sun hat here in Florida. But you'd have to lose the ear band and scarf. And put on some shorts. And get Meade into some shorts. Then we could let you in here.; 2/4/21, 3:29 PM
Ann Althouse said...: It's beautiful snow up here. Temperature 30°. I had a great walk through the neighborhood, which is in full "winter wonderland" form, snow sticking to all the branches. Yesterday, we had a nice cross-country ski run. It's been beautiful. No thoughts of leaving home for now, even with some below 0 weather coming in the next week. I am lying low, taking care not to get covid in this the last week before I get my vaccination. Once I've got my precious immunity... I'll just run wild.; 2/4/21, 3:39 PM
Ken B said...: Good to hear you are getting a shot. Which vaccine? Pfizer would be my first choice but take anything you can get.; 2/4/21, 3:44 PM

Roughcoat said...: AA you're looking very German in that photo. You have German eyes, downturned at the corners. Everyone on the German (father's) side of my family had/have eyes like that. I don't have them. I take after the Irish side of my family. Two distinct physiognomies in my family, Celtic and Teutonic.; 2/4/21, 3:56 PM
Temujin said...: Just got my second dose today. On the way back I was stopped at a light and looked over to my right to see an outdoor covered bar. Roof with fan, large bar under the roof, and all the sides of the building were wide open. I'm telling you, I wanted to run in and kiss the top of the bar.

But I didn't. However, we did book a flight to go see the grandkids in Washington state. Yeah...it's time. Need a kid fix. From there...who knows? Maybe even a restaurant. :); 2/4/21, 3:57 PM
Clyde said...: It looks beautiful. I'm so glad that you are there to enjoy it and I am not.; 2/4/21, 3:59 PM
Howard said...: Ken B: The Pfizer jab requires dilution by the nurse giving the shot. Extra degree of freedom to make a mistake. But you're right, take what is available.; 2/4/21, 4:07 PM
Narr said...: 'sno walk, that's a snow trek!

To my Southron eyes. We'll only get the chill.

Roughcoat, in my family it's German baggy eye.

I got 'em from Oma; 2/4/21, 4:10 PM

rehajm said...: AOC just emailed her followers to mass-report everyone who tweeted #AlexandriaOcasioSmollet today so Twitter and Facebook will take down any posts criticizing or fact-checking her; 2/4/21, 4:10 PM
rehajm said...: We were cold this morning- just about freezing. Made it to nearly 60 by afternoon. Our gator and half dozen wood ducks were out paddling around...; 2/4/21, 4:12 PM
Dave Begley said...: Nice hat you got there lady to cover that crazy head of hair.; 2/4/21, 4:21 PM
mccullough said...: Snow on the brim
And on the dented crown
A scarf of yellow scrim
Matching the fedora’s brown.; 2/4/21, 4:22 PM
Ken B said...: Rehajm
That would be against Twitter rules on platform manipulation! Surely she will be suspended!

Nationalize.; 2/4/21, 4:27 PM
tcrosse said...: If you want t.o get ahead, get a hat.; 2/4/21, 4:34 PM
Original Mike said...: Beautiful, but I do wish it would stop so I could go out and get to shoveling. Looks like the trailing edge is approaching from the west.; 2/4/21, 5:05 PM
Original Mike said...: "I am lying low, taking care not to get covid in this the last week before I get my vaccination. Once I've got my precious immunity... I'll just run wild."

I've already had Covid, but my hematologist is recommending I still get the vaccine. More stimulation of my weak immune system is better, I guess.; 2/4/21, 5:08 PM
Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...: The snowy brim is a nice touch. brrrrr.; 2/4/21, 5:12 PM
dwshelf said...: Way cool.; 2/4/21, 5:34 PM
Friendo said...: Love the hat.; 2/4/21, 5:58 PM
Lyle Sanford, RMT said...: That pic of you reminded me of someone - not the features but that expression - then it came to me - Laurie Anderson.; 2/4/21, 6:00 PM
stevew said...: @OriginalMike: don't wait for the snowfall to end, chip away at it so you aren't trying to relocate heavy loads. Less dangerous to your health that way. Plus, it's nice to be outside exercising in the weather.; 2/4/21, 6:02 PM
stevew said...: And don't forget to breath normally while lifting.; 2/4/21, 6:03 PM
Johnula said...: Good Lord, you look like my sister. She's hiding out the winter in Florida, the same as she has done for every winter since 1972.

... But maybe we're related?; 2/4/21, 6:15 PM
rhhardin said...: Cold weather heart attacks are most like related to having to heat to body temperature all the air you breathe in. That heating takes a lot of aerobic capacity. If you're working in addition, and your muscles aren't tired yet, you may be over the limit.; 2/4/21, 6:16 PM
donald said...: I cannot comprehend living in a place like that. Miserable weather and commies everywhere.; 2/4/21, 6:39 PM
Original Mike said...: @stevew - I agree. And I'm going to be out there again tomorrow anyways. The wind just arrived and the plowman cometh.; 2/4/21, 6:49 PM
Diamond said...: I hate the snow. Back in the 80s we lived 3 years in Omaha and 3 years in Fairbanks. Since we were poor we lived in base housing. We would fly 12 hour missions, not counting pre- or post mission ops/briefings. Base regs said we had to clear our sidewalks/driveways within a ridiculously short time frame after the snow stopped falling. I remember being exhausted after some of those missions but I still had to shovel snow before I could get some sleep. Omaha was worse than Fairbanks, they had more sleet with the snow.; 2/4/21, 7:15 PM
tim maguire said...: I'll probably get my shot in August. My wife and I are discussing coming to the US to get it if they open the border before then. Canada is not covering itself in glory just now. They ordered a zillion doses but forgot to negotiate priority.; 2/4/21, 7:37 PM
Ken B said...: Tim maguire
That’s what happens when you re-elect an incompetent legacy admission buffoon.
Trudeau has survived: physically assaulting members of parliament, wearing blackface, being accused of prosecution tampering by his own justice minister, behaving a parliamentary report find him guilty of it. That record got him re-elected. Fucking up covid and killing Canadians will get him re-elected again. Just as Cuomo will be re-elected, and Newsom. Nothing matters to voters now except looks, and Twitter.; 2/4/21, 7:52 PM
Francisco D said...: Once I've got my precious immunity... I'll just run wild.

No. You won't be allowed to.; 2/4/21, 8:38 PM
Ken B said...: Canada has government corruption, but we are mere pikers compared to you. This is something Canadians do not understand. American politicians are in general FAR worse than anything we see in Canada. The corruption is glaring, at every level, especially in big blue cities.
But even for you folks, letting Janet Yellen handle the Robinhood shit is spectacularly corrupt. It’s such open, naked corruption that even the 14th century papacy looks clean in comparison.; 2/4/21, 9:36 PM
Bunkypotatohead said...: Vaccinated or not, you'll still be required to wear a mask to go anywhere public. Two of them, if the tyrant Fauci gets his way.; 2/4/21, 9:46 PM
Scott said...: Old women in hats and bright colors give me hope that I too can blossom in my dotage.; 2/4/21, 10:02 PM

"Vaccinated or not, you'll still be required to wear a mask to go anywhere public. Two of them, if the tyrant Fauci gets his way."
Haven't you heard? You will now need to be tested anally. They now require a swab of your squeek hole. Which is going to make drive up testing very entertaining. "Yes, sir. Would you mind just sticking your butt out the window and spreading your cheeks? That's it. Thank you. We'll send your dr. the results." It gets worse. You now have to wear a mask over your ass.; 2/5/21, 5:36 AM
Rusty said...: Two of em' in fact.; 2/5/21, 5:36 AM
