Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Seeing the snow reports coming in from Austin, New Orleans, etc is amazing!

Iris is a good gorl and mr flea looooves her (which I knew he would; this is basically his puppy, and Dillo’s too.) I’m tired because it’s been a long time since I had to think about when someone I was responsible for would need to poop.

Ugh, Dana. No good.

Iris is so freaking cute, flea.

Greetings from sunny San Antonio!

It is, in fact, really sunny, which gives me a great view of the snowy wonderland just outside my window. It's probably the coldest it's been in years - I don't remember the last time we got below 20F. CPS seems to be doing rolling blackouts of 10 minutes or so to keep the grid from failing. This is posting a lot later than I started it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We haven't been hit by any of the rolling outages so far, thankfully. I shouldn't say that, since the space heater is pointed at the frozen pipes.

Hah! But good for you posting more puppy photos. The public demands it. Also highly recommend a weekly photo capturing growth against an object or person!! Especially since your pup will likely be v big!

Snow is melting here but it’ll take a while, with a foot plus drifts and shoveled piles.

I have to work today, and don’t want to.

Well that was wild. I went out during lunch break to tromp through the snow a bit and take some pictures, and it was a bright sunny day with lots of pristine snow. So when I went back into the apartment, I could barely see for a minute or two.

You think of snow-blindness as happening in the mountains or the Antarctic. Nope! Turns out a parking lot works too.

Our wings are not tired.

I really want to transport all of you overly cold peeps to my sunny back patio. It is currently 83, and fairly windy.

Honestly? If it wasn't for the issue with the power(we're now at 20 mins on, 10 off) I'd be pretty happy right here. The furnace is working fine for the inside, and I haven't had a real snowfall in years. Just...maybe I'd go grab my shades out of the car.

I want to try to take a picture of Dillo holding Iris every week since in a year they will both be bigger! We used him to weigh her; he’s 104 and she was 15 even. He’s 5’9 (and 14, so mid-grow).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Wow, its amazing to hear about all the snow in places where it isn't usual. I think a wintry mix is in the forecast for later in the week here.
