Kudos, Meade.
Spectacular fhotos. Great work.
Photos.
What are the odds that either Alito or Thomas resign over the next 3 months? I say 30%. Should be 99%. 2026 will be R bloodbath. Last chance to appoint young conservative SC justices.
The last is a great pic
Alito and Thomas are too old to be intimidated. Keep ‘em on the court.
Who goes to the Super Bowl out of the AFC? I say Bills do it this year, but Broncos and Patriots are having quite a year.
2026 will be R bloodbath

Who goes to the Super Bowl out of the NFC? Rams, Bears, or 49ers?
Well the Chiefs arent going anywhere
Great work Meade.
Of course having the hate hare at the event is ridiculous
The coldest I can recall is south of minus 30 somewhere. The outdoor thermometer gave up after -30. We had a spell of -20 for about ten says one time. The layer of ice on our road refused to yield to road salt, and tires were squared off a bit. Made for quite the uncomfortable ride…in my yt feed there were fellas in siberia demonstrating starting up the truck in deep cold with blankets and torches and stuff. Seemed like just letting it run all winter would have been preferred…
There are times when, here in the Southwest, I get nostalgic for life in the Upper Middle West. This is not one of them.
The Grauniad: Two survivors of Brown University attack escaped other school shootings
https://tinyurl.com/yk35v3rv
The word 'survivor' is doing a lot of work: both girls were in their dorms at Brown, not in the building that got shot up. One girl 'survived' the Parkland FL shooting in the middle school next to the high school where it actually happened. The other girl did actually get shot in the 2019 Santa Clarita CA incident.

Bad news. Mahomes - MVP QB - has a torn ACL. Thankfully, most NFL players come back and play at 90-100 percent. Miracle of modern sports medicine. Brady came back. Hope Mahomes does too. Class act.
I don't mind cold/snow in December. Maybe even January. By February - I'm looking to move South.

Clyde's Top 15 Favorite "New" Songs of 2025 - Honorable Mentions - (Part 4 of 5) - Annie Haslam - "Rockalise" - Annie in Wonderland (1977)
A few weeks ago, Amazon Music gave me a progressive rock playlist whose songs averaged about 10-1/2 minutes each. One of those songs, "Ashes Are Burning," was by an English band named Renaissance and came from an album of the same name recorded in 1973. I was particularly impressed with the woman singing, whose name was Annie Haslam. I ended up listening to that full album, then did some research and learned that she had recorded a solo album in 1977 with her then-fiancé, Roy Wood. (They were engaged for four years but never married.) Wood was known for his work with The Move, the Electric Light Orchestra and Wizzard. As a big fan of ELO, I had to listen to this album and was not disappointed. Wood produced the album, wrote three of the songs, played many of the instruments, did an uncredited duet with Haslam on one song, and even did the album cover artwork. It's a fun, eclectic album that I enjoyed.
This song delighted me the first time I heard it. Haslam shows off her five-octave vocal range by vocalizing with a harp playing in the background for the first part of the song, and then about the 2:45 mark, the rhythm section kicks in and it turns into a rocking song that sounds very much like The Move or early Electric Light Orchestra. It's kind of ironic that Jeff Lynne's version of ELO had a big hit a year earlier with "Rockaria!" but it was Roy Wood who was engaged to a singer with an operatic voice.

Clyde's Top 15 Favorite "New" Songs of 2025 - Honorable Mentions - Bonus Song #1 - Annie Haslam - "I Never Believed in Love" - Annie in Wonderland (1977)
When Annie Haslam was singing songs with lyrics on the album, her vocals reminded me of ABBA from about the same time period. This song is the duet with Roy Wood.

Clyde's Top 15 Favorite "New" Songs of 2025 - Honorable Mentions - Bonus Song #2 - Roy Wood - "Why Does Such a Pretty Girl Sing Those Sad Songs" - Mustard (1975)
Most bands are lucky to have one musical genius, but the Electric Orchestra had two: Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood, who both were in The Move and then founded ELO along with Bev Bevan. They made one album, and then Wood left during the recording of the second ELO album due to creative differences and founded Wizzard.
During a Wizzard hiatus, Wood recorded a couple of solo albums, with the second of them, Mustard, being almost completely a solo album: Other than vocal contribution from Annie Haslam on one song and Phil Everly (of the Everly Brothers) on another, Wood wrote all of the songs, played all of the instruments, sang on all of the songs, produced the album and created the cover art work. It is an extremely eclectic album, to say the least. My favorite track was this song, which is one of his Brian Wilson/Beach Boys homages on the album. When you listen to this, keep in mind that this is ONE GUY doing the entire song!

Working in central Asia FSU years ago, we usually shut down when it got to -40°. At that temp, both°F and °C are equivalent. The Soviets used to shut down operations around that temp because their steel tended to become embrittled. We were offloading a brand new crane carrier off a rail car at about -35°F, and half way off, over the rail car, the massive spreader beam supporting the load snapped in half, dropping the new crane and completely ruining it, as well as heavily damaging the crane doing the lifting. Humans aren't the only thing the cold affects.
Meade is far more intrepid than I would have been. Subzero temperatures would be too much for me!
Former alleged competent President Joe Biden was trotted out after the Brown University killings and said "Senseless."
Could someone please tell him to stop talking about himself for once, and think of the victims instead?
Regarding photos and video, “What fresh hell is this?”
Well he never had any sense

The Right candidate won in Chile
@political junkie: You think Ds will take the Senate in ‘26? Because the House doesn’t do confirmations.
Re: Chile election, the media is describing the winner, Jose Antonio Kast, as "far-right," "conservative hardliner" and "ultra-conservative." Meanwhile, his opponent was an honest-to-Marx Communist, without so much as a fig leaf of "Democratic Socialist" as they do here.

Minus 29*F? Plus 29*F is cold enough for me.

Also plastic. A watch snapped of my wrist at -40 and its face shattered when it hit the ground.
Micah Parsons believed to have a torn ACL.
Two dead people have been found inside director Rob Reiner's house.
Kinda like the dead body that showed up at Obama's house on Martha's Vineyard.
Probably nothing will come of it.
Its way too cold for me. I can deal with heat, not cold.
I was about to complain, re: our overnight low this evening (16°) but I feel warmer already… lol

They showed what happened in slow motion. You could see the way the knee was bending that it wasn't good. If someone could invent some sort of brace the players could wear during games that would prevent that from happening, that person would become very, very rich very quickly.
Meathead Dead?
About almost 40 years ago, I was living in SW Wisconsin and the temperature never got above 0 degrees for at least a couple of weeks. The nights were so cold that one morning I noticed the dashboard in my vehicle had split. (It had to sit outside.) I was living in a mobile home and curtained off the living room and lived just in the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom to save on heat. I moved out that summer.
Amazing photographs. Just amazing.

0% chance.
The idea that you can preserve your legacy by timing your retirement is dubious. People bring this up in regard to Ginsburg. She blew up Roe v. Wade by not timing her retirement. And Barrett replacing Ginsburg was key, no question.
But Roe v. Wade was always in danger, for most of my life. Many people thought the Court would overrule it in 1992. And it was three Republican nominees (Souter, O'Connor, and Kennedy) who kept it alive. So the idea of Blackmun (also a Republican nominee) or Marshall or Brennan (another Republican nominee) timing their retirement to save this case (or some other case), is not how it works.
Marshall got replaced by Thomas (that was big). He was facing 12 years of Republican rule (Reagan's two terms and Bush's one) and simply couldn't hold out any longer. It was impossible for him to time it.
Brennan didn't time it, either. He was replaced by Souter. Souter was a reliable liberal vote for his entire career, pretty much.
Reagan nominated Sandra Day O'Connor, who was always pro-choice. Reagan was a huge pro-lifer, but he wasn't an attorney and the people around him (including John Roberts) did not serve him well. Nominating Mary Ann Glendon, for instance, would have ended Roe a lot sooner. Reagan wanted pro-life judges, but he was one for three in his picks. Bush senior was 1 for 2. George W. Bush appointed Roberts (who actively tried to keep Roe in place for a decade, in my opinion). And he tried to appoint Harriet Miers to the Court and there was a shit-storm of opposition. That's when he had to put Alito up, to quell the internal revolt.
The importance of Trump's picks cannot be underestimated. He put three anti-Roe votes on the Court. Gorsuch (great textualist) to replace Scalia. Pretty much a wash. Brett Kavanaugh would replace Kennedy. Kavanaugh clerked with Kennedy and the two men were big friends. The big difference between Kavanaugh and Kennedy was the latter had already voted to confirm Roe, and he couldn't or wouldn't admit to a mistake. (His Carhart opinions show where his emotions were). It was easier for Kavanaugh to vote to reverse Roe. And after that character assassination he went through during his nomination, his vote didn't surprise me at all. But the real key was Ginsburg dying and not being able to hold out for four more years. She was replaced by Amy Coney. That was the whole ball game, right there.
Even if Ginsburg "timed her retirement" and left when Scalia died, Cocaine Mitch might have held up the nominations for both spots. He was that much of a bad ass. And nobody liked the assholes Obama kept producing. I shit myself when I think about Merrick Garland replacing Scalia. Holy fuck!
It's possible that the Democrats have a blue wave in 2026. Unlikely, but possible. Even so there is absolutely no assurance that a Republican nominee in 2026 would be stronger or better than a Republican nominee in 2027 or 2028.
I think a lot of them try to guess the presidential elections. But midterms? That's not a thing.

Two dead people have been found inside director Rob Reiner's house.
The ages of the people were give by multiple sources. The male was 78 and the female 68. No names given at this time, but the ages align with Reiner and his wife.
The last time the Democrats were in power, they were talking openly about stacking the Supreme Court with multiple judges, all nominated by Biden's auto-pen.
Democrats are constantly shocked when Republicans do what Democrats do. So if AOC or whoever tries to stack the court with four more nominee, the next Republican administration -- and the American people do not put up with horseshit for long -- will no doubt stack the Supreme Court further, with four more nominees.
This is all doable. The Constitution doesn't say how many judges sit on the Court. And the number shifted a number of times in the early years. But it would be spectacularly partisn and crazy. Introduced by Democrats, repeated by Republicans.
Why would anybody try to "time their retirement" into that sort of shit-show?
"Micah Parsons believed to have a torn ACL."
And this is why you don't trade two first round picks for anybody.
"the ages align with Reiner and his wife."
We can only hope the Christmas seasons bring us such tidings of great joy.
The only way this could get better is if Donald Trump is the actual suspect.
The coldest ambient temperature I ever experienced was in Chicago in the winter of '95 when we got down to -22.
At that temperature, if you blow soap bubbles, they freeze solid almost immediately, you then see all the moisture condense into a tiny cloud, and then they shatter into little fragments that look like broken glass.
I used to walk the 5 blocks to campus, and as soon as I'd get indoors, all the ice on my eyelashes would melt and make it look like I'd been crying.
The summer of '95, when >500 people died from the heat, wasn't particularly fun, either. The temperature in our living room was still 103 at midnight. As soon as the sun reached the horizon it seemed like half the neighborhood went down to the beach and stood knee deep in Lake Michigan until it got fully dark.
There were a lot of things I loved about living in Chicago in the '90s, but the weather was not one of them.
NY Post reporting they've been stabbed to death.
Maybe the Intifada has been Globalized, which would be rich considering his politics throughout the years.
"Who was stabbed to death?"
Unfortunately, not Jane Fonda. It's only Meathead.
It's kind of weird how many Christmas lights they show were strung up on his house, considering that the Jews literally murdered our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, of Bethlehem.
That’s just a stupid comment.
No one should ever wish such a horrible fate on anyone.
Extremely sad news.
RIP. His art was way better than his politics. Spinal Tap, Princess Bride. Fantastic filmmaker in his early years.
Spent two winters in Bismarck, ND. Driving to work one morning under clear, bright sunshine and I thought to myself, "What a beautiful day.'
Radio is on, "It's currently 10 below in Bismarck/Mandan."
It was then I knew I needed to get out of there.

Pretty incredible how the democratic party is a shit pile of hate, violence and intolerance. The party of murder.
"FLC, what is wrong with you?"
Can we not celebrate the season? Look, it's pretty clear that Rob Reiner is a murderer and that he killed his wife and then took his own life to prevent us from ever extracting the pound of flesh he so richly deserved to have removed from him.
He's clearly a Hollywood whack-job demented with TDS and he's resorted to murder/suicide since Trump defeated him so handily.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Stay away from these people. They're dangerous.
You’re not a Christian. You hate Christians and the Jews? So weird to pop up on Althouse to cheer a murder. Fuck off, hater

Word is out (or is it still rumor?) that Reiner and his wife were stabbed by their son Nick, who has long been a drug addict.
Christians do not care about the death of horrid, horrid Jews, since they killed the actual Son of God. The Jews not only murdered Jesus, but they tortured him horrifically all the way to his death.
That's not something we celebrate.
We do celebrate the birth of Christ. We hang lights on our houses. Which is kind of why it's weird that Rob Reiner, Jew, had them strung up on his house.
Maybe he was killed by Jews angry that he was apparently celebrating Christmas.
I wouldn't put it past them.
wow - Rob Reiner was murdered? Didn't agree with him but yeah he made some quality films along the way.,

"Word is out (or is it still rumor?) that Reiner and his wife were stabbed by their son Nick, who has long been a drug addict."
So he was murdered by a Jew.
LIKE I PREDICTED.
“Nick Reiner (one of their three children with Michele: Jake, Nick, and Romy) is reportedly the perpetrator and is currently missing, with authorities actively searching for him.”
I'm getting the sense that the barriers to entry for terrorist violence are distressingly low. Good thing that the US has been so vigilant in barring entry of potential terrorists.
Rob Reiner made some great and fun movies. His work will speak well of him forever. Sorry for his family and friends and of his wife. Nobody deserves this kind of exit.
he made some quality films along the way.
I like the one he made where that chick jacked off in a public restaurant and came very loudly, so that all the other restaurant patrons who came to the restaurant just to get some decent food could hear her. Then some old broad tried to get some of what she was having.
That was some top-notch cinema. People snapped that right up.
Then there was that movie where the masked dude threw that blond girl down a mountain. But that's another story.

His kid is literally named St. Nick.
You cannot make this shit up.

Where are you seeing this? I don't see anyone reporting this except People magazine. And I'm not really inclined to trust them.
Is it acceptable to now acknowledge that transgenderism is a marker for mental illness, or do we have to wait a little longer?
Mike Stivic was the true villain of “All in the Family”.
The murderer at Brown seems to have attacked an Economics review class organized by the Republican Club. One of those killed was a young woman, the Republican club president.
May be rumors, who knows.
If true this was most likely political.
Yes it’s People magazine, so maybe not so.
FLC, Christ Jesus sacrificed himself to save humanity. God called upon him to do this. Christians have been revering Good Friday for 2000 years. Murdering Jews is not something Christians do. You’re an atheist who hates Christians and Jews and humanity in general. You’re not speaking for Christ when you cheer the murder of innocent people.
The Brown shooter doesn't look like an Scandanavian named Erickson who has spent three years in the Army and then graduated from UW_Madison. Look how thin his neck is. That's a teen-ager. I vote - an AI picture and life story. He's either an Islamic killer or a trans.
LA Times is reporting police are questioning a family member.
"Jesus sacrificed himself to save humanity"
And that doesn't change one whit what the Jews did.
LA Times is reporting police are questioning a family member.
His own son murdered him. Fitting.
Jesus was a Jew.
FLC - you really are a troll. Buzz off.
If a leftist is the killer - the corrupt D hack media will drop it.
or lie or both.
Well, I have word from the family in Australia. A whole branch thereof starting with my moms brother emigrated there in the 1960s. They all live in the Sydney suburbs and might well have been at Bondi beach, but none were.
It's always entertaining when 'banned' commenters - like FLC - return to prove why they were told to leave in the first place.
The Reiner family murders, what a tragedy. Regardless of their political views, however toxic, he was a really good creator, one of those nepo's that lives up to his own expectations of talent. His dad Carl Reiner was also a genius in his own era.
Whether it was a family drama or something else, nobody deserves that kind of ending, though. And for those spewing their own toxic thoughts, I find it curious how well these tropes align with the perps behind those 2 violent episodes unfolding now. They're quite similar in their thinking, yes? Same kind of 'otherism' at work. Is there some strange comfort knowing you're more like them than like us?
"Write about whatever you want in the comments."
I loved Meade's pictures. And how incredibly interesting to see how another sensibility sees a Wisconsin sunrise on Lake Mendota. There could be a great book analyzing that difference - art and woman and man in the 21st century. I wonder what I would see. I'll never know because I'm moving to New Hampshire pretty soon. It'll help with recovering from the weakness caused by two operations in two years, each bigger than expected. I won't be leaving this blog though you may notice an arrogant-coastie tone creeping into my comments. I hope not, though I AM going to a Destination (North of Boston) after living in an anti-Destination (Milwaukee). You betcha. I mean, yep.
Reiner was very talented at what he did… he could shove his political opinions, IMHO, but what a horrible thing to have happened… damn shame.
Brown University shooter story getting weird now. First reports if FBI Boston using cell phone geofencing to narrow suspects, then a guy is arrested in his hotel room with 2 guns, one with a laser sight supposedly the same configuration as the one used by the perp, supposed rumors about the named suspect-from-Wisconsin social media positions on gender issues etc - but now that person of interest has been released, not arrested. Yet Rhode Island has pretty strict handgun control laws. 72 hour rule, I guess.
The person of interest in the Brown University shootings was released by the police Tonight.
Former law clerk, you are a scumbag
Less worrying about Trump, and more paying attention to how you raise your kids. Maybe would have been a better approach.
Also, they released the Brown University suspect only after getting the news cycle that it's a white guy.
Now they can arrest the black guy.

Terrible news about Rob Reiner and his wife. I disagreed vehemently with his politics but he directed three movies in my top 50 favorites- Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and This Is Spinal Tap, and When Harry Met Sally is one that bubbling under that list. His legacy will stand the test of time.
Doesn't sound good when you say it out loud, does it?
Or you can get your own fucking blog. I'm sure we'd all love to visit.
For someone claiming to be a Christian, FLC has been writing some surprisingly swinish and contemptible things here - downright demonic, in fact. Time to call an exorcist? An ordinary spiritual advisor or psychiatrist isn’t going to be enough.
I guess there's no supporting of the Jews here. The globalization of the Intifada has apparently come to Alt's house.
Jesus was a Jew, you know.

About 35 years ago, I spent a winter alone caretaking Painter Creek Lodge in Alaska.
http://www.paintercreeklodge.com/
I lived in the fishing guides quarters, a little shack about 12X8 with a pair of bunkbeds, a four-burner stove and oven, and a barrel woodstove for heat. Temperatures don't usually drop too far below zero in that part of Alaska, but one night a once-in-a-generation cold front moved in. I slept in a bottom bunk and the top bunks were stacked with cases of soda pop stored for the season until the lodge opened in May. I was awakened by the sounds of the soda cans exploding from the cold, POP!...POP!...POP!...and got up shivering to build the fire. Lit the lantern to see the window glass completely frosted over on the inside of the cabin. The thermometer read -40, inside the cabin. The guys before me had burned all the firewood during the Fall season, so I had been cutting and splitting wood to burn since my arrival, and the only trees around there are cottonwood, a very watery wood which should be dried for a year before you try and burn them.
No matter how much wood I stuffed in that stove, or how much Blazo I tossed on the logs, the wood never really caught fire and the temperature inside never got above freezing during the ten days or so of that cold snap. The wood didn't burn so much as sizzle, and water and steam dripped out of the logs with a constant hiss like spit on a hot griddle. I literally sat on the stove and still could not get warm. Further in the interior the temperatures reached -70, and that year the Kuskokwim 300 dog race was postponed because of the cold. The radio station, KDLG out of Dillingham, reported on a village where a single truck was running, and the owners kept the truck running around the clock and used it to do whatever chores or services the rest of the village needed doing at the time. After a week or so, the ceiling above the bunkbeds was full of brown and orange and grape colored soda-pop stalactites from all the cans that exploded from the cold. That was a rough winter. Then in the Spring, when it warmed up in April, the cabin was infested with thick black cluster flies coming out of every seam and crevice in the walls. I was killing 30, 40, 50 flies a day that would come crawling out of some crack somewhere and buzz around to the window trying to get out. Almost made me wish it was -40 below inside again.
A family member discovered the bodies. Nobody has been detained or arrested.
Apparently the Muslim terrorists at the beach in Australia were shooting people for 20 minutes.
It sounds like there were 4 police officers there for a lot of that time and they did nothing.
Muslims do not belong in free countries. They belong in their own countries. They should not be let out of them.
Now we have insight into why that Law Clerk gig might have been short lived.
RIP, Rob “Meathead” Reiner, Carl’s son.

"Rob Reiner's Hollywood friends Billy Crystal and Larry David are said to have been emotional as they left the Brentwood home of the iconic filmmaker ..."
Top.
Men.
Now, aren't all you folks complaining about the cold feeling embarrassed after Michael's story?
On the roof of a radar at 2 am - standing temp was 25 below - and being in North Dakota, of course it was windy.
We had to replace a broken dish. Fifteen minutes up, 45 minutes down. Rotating crews. Twelve hours on, twelve hours off until the radar was up and running again.
Nuts don't loosen at that temp. Nothing loosens at that temp.

I still hate it when it is cold. It fucking sucks. I hate winter. I want it to be warm.
I didn’t realize it’s the first day of Hanukkah. That’s what motivated the mass murder of Jews in Australia. Horrific.
Apparently a hero jumped one of the terrorists and grabbed his rifle. Took two bullets to the leg. But he’s okay. His name is Ahmed Al-Ahmed. God bless you, brother. You saved some lives today.
false news the killer who killed two identified as ,,,, the person initially detained in Rhode Island after the Brown University shooting was released and was only a person of interest. False news always from bogus websites this is how bullcrap gets started . too eager to blame showing in depth hatred before all facts are in an validated. Very sad :(
Jerusalem Post is confirming that the hero is a Muslim. Shot twice, once in the shoulder. Bibi is thanking him in public.
Just a bystander walking by, and he does that. Holy Spirit, man.
"All work and no play makes Mike a dull boy."
LMAO! That was a hazard there. The owner was a guy named Joe Maxey, and he flew me out there in a 185, I think it was. Joe shows me to the shack and closes the door behind, and I stand there and take a look at the accommodations. I notice a pattern of buckshot holes in the door behind Joe, and another on the ceiling overhead. Joe says, Oh, that's from the fellaast year. He was a diabetic and went off his feed, then he started seeing things. Thought he was shooting at the devil. Then he went out and fell in the creek and ended up freezing his hands off....
Not the story I wanted to be told when I'm being left alone for 6 months far, far away from any kind of help or human companionship. The closest settlement is an Indian village about 20 miles away. Once Joe flew off and left me alone, I really felt on my own then. Felt real small all alone in that empty place far from the nearest person in a wilderness with bears, and wolves, and caribou everywhere around me, living in a bullet-riddled cabin haunted by a guy who went crazy and nearly died the winter before me.

That link has a mention of Joe Maxey who died in a plane crash on the way to lodge in 2000. There's a good picture of the camp layout and the airstrip. The shack I stayed in is the top left, closest to the runway.
FBI Director Kash Patel said earlier Sunday in a post on X that the person of interest had been detained in a hotel room in the Rhode Island town of Coventry, a 30-minute drive from the Brown campus. An FBI team specializing in cellular data analysis used geolocation information to track the suspect, Patel said.
Benjamin Erickson was tracked down and then released after the Brown University shooting. There are now no suspects in custody. Recall that when Charlie Kirk was killed in Utah, Keystone Kash appeared on national TV to announce that the sniper had been captured on the first day, but that suspect was released as well.
Here is a picture of Benjamin Erickson, who graduated from Cedarburg High School in Cedarburg, WI, in 2021. He obviously was not the shooter captured on film in Providence.

CNN : “Rob Reiner and his wife have died, family say, as police investigate apparent homicide” omg
Updated 4:26 AM EST, Mon December 15, 2025
While I strongly disagreed with his political views, I am saddened by the murders of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle, as any decent person would be.
Felt real small all alone in that empty place far from the nearest person in a wilderness with bears, and wolves, and caribou everywhere around me, living in a bullet-riddled cabin haunted by a guy who went crazy and nearly died the winter before me.
And no Internet.
’Now, aren't all you folks complaining about the cold feeling embarrassed after Michael's story?’
No. 16° in Alabama feels like -70°. ;)
I deleted my previous comment because AFTER arresting the suspect, and releasing (or leaking, deliberately?) his name, the police decided he didn't do it after all.
The gas prices in California are insane. Pretty much double what I pay. And it's getting worse.
Noticing commenters like Left Bank repeating talking points regarding Tesla; I decided to buy back in November 21st at 390 basis points. I have much to be thankful for indeed.
Leland. 234 or 35 here. I'm very happy.
They turned him lose, gadfly. He's not the guy. Too white. You can stop masturbating now.
It's almost 80 here in AZ lately. I'm wearing shorts.
SHORTS.
According to my iphone, it is 17F above normal here in northern AZ. Mid 70s. I hate it.
"I was awakened by the sounds of the soda cans exploding from the cold, POP!...POP!...POP!"
I wasn't present to hear them pop, but one morning in Sun Valley I went out to my car to find the inside covered in frozen blobs of Coke syrup from an exploded six-pack on the back seat.
Rusty, I dropped out around 360. If I held for about 2 weeks longer, I never would have got out. Glad to get back in at 390. Still doubled my money the first time. It is more fun making money off these clowns than trying to debate them.
Growing up in Great Falls, Montana, we encountered -40° weather during cold snaps essentially every winter, sometimes more than once. One thing that I recall from those occasions, is that when it's that cold there's never (well hardly ever) any wind to speak of. That certainly improves the comfort in walking around (totally bundled up) in such conditions.
Nowadays, living in far northern California (a few dozen miles shy of the Oregon border), the worst we see is around +10°F.
