Well, from my very thorough wikipedia search, the Scotts Irish version is "Donuts". And Italy has Struffoli, Pignolata, Guanti, (Assisi) Bastoncello, (Calabria) Scaddateddi, Zeppole, Chiacchiere, Lattughe (this may not be classifiable as doughnut, but it is fried pastry, in a Lettuce" style) Cenci, Donzelle, Frappe, Sfrappole, Bugie, Crostoli, Frittelle, Grispelli (potato dough speciality from the Catanzaro region), Ciambelli (Cocullo, Abruzzi), Bomboloni (Bombolonas), and (Palermo, Sicily) Sfingi.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got my second shot today. My arm is sore, but that's it so far. Tomorrow is my telework day, so I can take it easy if need be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One of my favorite recent TikToks is a woman from the Keweenaw Peninsula (which averages 300 inches of snow a year) bitching out Midwesterners for being mean to Texans. "They don't have snow dumps down there! They're not built for this! Be nicer!"
Seriously, though. They are not prepared! Someone I went to high school with (in New England!) lives... down South somewhere now, and she was just saying they don't even have gloves! She had her kids put socks on their hands to go shovel.

When we got six inches of snow in Athens GA mine were the only kids who owned mittens. You didn’t really need a winter coat there, generally. The city did not own a plow, and nobody had a shovel or salt; stores didn’t carry them. Apparently Atlanta (pop. 4 million) owned two plows.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, I am about three steps past over all of these cute jokes about leaving Texas without federal assistance because of politics or threat of secession or whatever. All of my coworkers that were in a team meeting this morning had frozen pipes somewhere in the house. It's going to be a disaster when stuff finally thaws. Even more of a disaster than it is now.

Yes it is a mess and super dangerous. I know people that have been 16 hours without electricity.
