Another grey Wisconsin day. The worst part of our winter weather. Worse than snow and cold. At least it keeps temps up a bit, Tomorrow brings clear skies, but frigid temps. But I'll take some sun.
"Another grey Wisconsin day." That ended up driving my son out of Wisconsin after six years. Now he is here in NM. He does miss the Farmer's Market and Brats, but he loves the sun so he makes do.
There are many more ways to shoot this scene, Ann.
You seem stuck in a rut. This is a pedestrian way of viewing this scene.
Where is your imagination?
Reckless things that Biden waited three years, and after the election when he didn't have to worry about the consequences to do:
Used "creative" [Janet Yellen's word] methods to steal without a legal basis money from Russia. Further denting the dollar's reputation as a safe store of value, and the Wests reputation as a safe place to invest. What pretext will we think up to steal hundreds of billions from China or India or Saudi Arabia? Who knows? We will see how "creative" we need to be!
Authorized missile strikes by American missiles and British missiles into Russia. Escalating the conflict and making talks more difficult.
Today we did more American missile strikes into Russia. Hooray!
Increased sanctions on Russian oil which he didn't want to do to before the election because it would make inflation worse.
He has 40 more days to throw his tantrum and do his best to undermine Trump's presidency, and any chance for the peace that the American people voted for. He will do more.
The money thing will make it difficult for any settlement to happen, although Russia has hundreds of billions in Western assets frozen as well, from companies that shut down operations in Russia due to sanctions, but it is from private investors that Biden and the Europeans don't care about. The rest of them Trump can reverse just by pointing out that they were part of a tantrum thrown by a senile old man.
When you say "Biden" you don't mean Joe, but the cabal that's running things behind his back.
Jabba The LIteral Hutt can't figure out why he's not interested in her any more.

Sweetie ... cosplaying Catherine Helmond getting her face stretched in Brazil is no way to go through life, hun.
In this case I think Joe is a willing accomplice.
Via r/law : “Ohio Supreme Court stands by ‘asinine’ ruling that boneless chicken wings do not mean without bones”
"Boneless" in the "Mostly Boneless" sense. See, e.g., Mostly Peaceful Protest.
Boneless chicken wings, rack of pork ribs- whatever. Close enough for government work.

Shouldn’t that be an ossinine ruling?
Clyde's Top 15 Favorite "New" Songs of 2024 - Part 1 of 16 - Preview
One of the joys of streaming music at work is discovering new music that I like. It allows me to find music that is either new or just new-to-me. A lot of the cool stuff I come across has been out for years, but it didn't cross my radar because I was listening to a different type of music at the time. Also, on Amazon Unlimited Music, they added access to Community Playlists this year, so if you find another listener who shares your musical interests, you may discover songs that they like that you've never heard.
As in previous years, I'm going to close out the year by sharing my Top 15 songs that I discovered in 2024, starting today. Over the first five days, I'm going to throw in five honorable mentions that didn't crack my Top 15, and I may throw in some bonus songs on other days as well. The Top 15 itself will start on December 16th.
The rules: To make the Top 15, the song had to have been new to me in 2024, but that doesn't mean that it had to come out this year. Only one song per artist in the Top 15. And the cutoff date was that I had to discover the song before December 10th.
Honorable mentions may get a little more latitude, as I may have heard them earlier in passing, but only really got into them this year. By the time we're done on New Year's Eve, you'll have gotten a chance to hear the new music that was my soundtrack for 2024. I hope that you listen to them and that you find something new that you enjoy as well.
Clyde's Top 15 Favorite "New" Songs of 2024 - Part 1 of 5 - Honorable Mentions
Hoodoo Gurus - "I Want You Back" - Stone Age Romeos (1984)
Last year, seven of the twenty songs I shared with you were released in 2023, and two others were from 2022. This year, it's a little different. Only four of the songs are from 2023 or 2024 this time. I discovered a lot of old music that I had missed the first time around, especially alternative/indie/power pop from the 1980s and 1990s. These songs just weren't the ones I was listening to when they came out, but I played them a lot in 2024.
Hoodoo Gurus are an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1981, and they became popular in the U.S. after playing the college rock circuit in 1984. This year, while listening to various power pop playlists, this song came up repeatedly and it grew on me.
