Just eight short weeks until spring.
Technically, the amout of time until spring has yet to be determined by some burrowing rodent in charge of such things.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's the location of the eyeballs that I find most disturbing.
Yes. And the way the skaters shake their, um, eyeballs as they skate....

RIP Johnny. The man's timing was a wonderful thing to watch.
Be safe snow covered ones.
I finally on day 23 made good on my promise to myself to start walking the beach in the morning this year. I got my butt out at 7AM to test how long it takes me to get dressed, walk dog, pack water and whatever, drive to beach, park, walk 30 minutes, and drive home. I managed it all in 45 minutes which means if I get out of bed at 6 weekdays I can be home in time to get the kids ready for school.
This could work. If I don't get to the beach before my day begins it never happens. I had almost forgotten there were waves and sea gulls and stuff. Shocking how many people were out there at that hour.
I totally do not miss snow.

What is even happening?
I bought a Table Talk pie. In spirit of the day.I have a Mrs. Smith's apple pie in the freezer for pie emergencies. I can't decide whether or not to pop it in the oven. I'm mulling it (but not in a cider sort of way--or is it, hmmmmm *mull* *mull* *mull*) over as I type.
That wind is a BITCH! They have cleared the sidewalks twice, but the blowing snow has covered them up again.It's supposed to be a bitch here through the night, and it's supposedly going to shift from north east to north west (I think), meaning the drifts will redrift.
I can't tell if the snow stopped. The windows are all a little foggy from the steam heat and the stew cooking on the stove, and I can't get a clear look under the street lights. I don't think it's still snowing, but I can't quite tell. All the street lights I can see do have icicles hanging from them, which is kind of cool.

hip deep in pie
I made Indian food for supper. Well, made in the sense of cooking all the foody bits, then dumped the store bought curry sauce over them. Warmed me right up. Though the President and I have differing views on how hot "hot" is.
Still no pie...

It's downright hot here and I wish it were cold. Not snowing cold, just chilly enough for a sweater or turtleneck. It shouldn't be hot in January.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's only 70odd here, GC. I wish it were hot.
I'm torn between sitting at home and watching Sneakers, or testing out that cafe down the street while I wait for the pastry dough to chill.
I think I'll do the cafe, despite the shoe requirement. I need to buy something to go into the pie anyway.

We had a few chilly days and everyone had fun digging out their pretty sweaters. Floridians tend to wear bulky sweaters while staying bare toed in sandals. I thought it was silly when I moved here, but now I find I do it too.

Seriously. But I'm not going to sit next to you again. You're too violent. Anyway, GC, that's what air conditioners are for-- wearing sweaters, or maybe lighting up the fireplace.
Hi, Laura!
Good-bye, Johnny Carson. You always made me smile.
