The strong winds had already broken up the ice. Here's how it looked at 4:46 in the afternoon. This is my photograph, as you may be able to tell from the shadow in the lower left corner:
That's the familiar vantage point, and you can see the lake ice is gone except for the wall of ice blocks shoved up against the shore. That's a bit impervious to the brutal wind. I don't know how I made it all the way out there. It wasn't really cold, but oh! the wind.
Here's the video Meade made as I was standing there. Take note of the strong waves in the lake and the ring of fire:

Story out of Dallas now about Jasmine Crockett's security guard being killed by Dallas SWAT. Vey interesting. Read the local stories. This guy was a winner.Not.
Don’t you listen to him Dan he’s a devil not a man and he spreads the burning sad with water. Cool water.
@Junkie, and in nearby Fort Worth today eight operatives from the North Texas Antifa Cell were convicted by a federal jury for their roles in rioting, using weapons and explosives, providing material support to terrorists, obstruction, and attempted murder of an Alvarado police officer and unarmed correctional officers at the Prairieland ICE Detention Center on July 4, 2025. Only Benjamin Song, the person who fired the shots at a police officer, was convicted of attempted murder. However, all of the members were convicted on count 1 (rioting), on count 2 (providing material support to terrorists) and on count 3 (explosive consipracy).
It’s about time Antifa learned that it isn’t all grins and giggles when you’re codplaying at revolution — the magic word “consequences” can still make an appearance.
Big Mike4 - Gotta love Texas juries.
NASA just announced Artemis 2 is “all fixed up” and will launch astronauts to the moon on April 1. So on Friday the 13th, we’re told the April Fools’ Day moon trip is ready. Obviously it’ll be as real as all our other “moon landings.” Plus, with three Apollo Rovers, 2 Soviet Lunokhods, 2 Chinese Yutus and an Indian Pragyan already up there, the moon’s become a cosmic used‑car lot. No wonder Artemis 2 won’t land - no available parking.
The Michigan shooter who attempted to murder toddlers at a Jewish preschool had claimed he had lost “family members” in an Israeli strike in Lebanon. Except that we’ve since learned that those family members were his brothers, who were members of the terrorist group Hezbollah. I know the son of a swine shit himself when he came under fire from the security guards, but I hope he was still alive and conscious when his vehicle caught fire.
@Eva Marie, I wonder which astronaut will be first to set up a used lunar vehicle lot on the moon?
Report. Mullahs fleeing to Canada.
By the end of this year, Trump will have liberated the people of Cuba, Iran and Venezuela. But he will still be hated by all the “right” people.
Have you seen the first SOTU ‘stand up’ ad yet? It wasn’t a big deal at the time to me but the visuals of those Democrats sitting while their rhetoric plays, it has to be devastating for them on an issue they lost in the last Presidential cycle….
Went back and watch the original Mission Impossible. The first, and still the best, one. Also got through Wiseman's "Monrovia Indiana" which I enjoyed. And his "Jackson Heights" which I didn't.
And tried to listen to some Podcasts reviewing MI 1996. And they were all bad. Note to podcasters: If you cant follow a mainstream Hollywood movie, its not because the plot is "convoluted" its because you're an idiot. They make movies for people with 100 IQs.
Thank you for your attention.
And I love blustery days. Even when its cold.
Full convictions on all 9 Antifa terrorists in Texas.
That sound you hear is Inga crying into her collectors Nazi SS monogrammed Graham Platner doll.

This was the plot of the 1979 Andy Griffith series Salvage 1.

@Dave Begley, what mullahs? I'd be interested to know how many there are in total, and how many have amscrayed.
Also I see that Iran is still firing missiles. So, not everything has been eradicated. For style points, I think it's a bad look to crow about destroying the enemy's ability to wage war, only to ignore events when they continue launching missiles and waging war. If you want the public to support the war effort (and I do), then you should be telling us what's going on, not telling us what makes you feel good about yourself.
Im the only person thaf remembers that show?
It had five screenwriters including robert towne famed of china town
@john mosby, I recall watching a lot of TV in my younger days, but I missed that one.
It had a cynicsl take on intelligence then that was born out since (including how easy it is to exfiltrate clasified info
See snowden and manning
I wonder if redgrave inspired assamge
Mind you it has been part financed by ali baba

dan linnaeus on X: "A stunning level of sensitivity.

Margaret Hoover, for this week's Firing Line, did an Iran-themed clip show of interviews from Trump's first term. Really funny to see some never-Trumpers (Liz Cheney!) basically supporting his hardline toward Iran. CC, JSM
Ciso, do you think the Bureau is going to Cuba to work on the Havana Syndrome case? Was interesting to see Marc Polymeropoulos on Morning Joe today, forced to say that the Obama admin refused to confront Russia. CC, JSM
