The dogs wore me down. We went out for a short walk. Nothing is slippery, just covered and the road is slushy.

While out, old man across street is out shoveling. Hell no. So soon 4 of us are out trying to get him and his wife to stop. They don’t, but we help them and get a bit more cleared.

This is the hardest of the snowstorms to clear. I need an ice breaker-upper.

Good neighboring, msbelle.

Oof, that's a lot of meeting, -t.

I just made a really good coconut flour banana bread from a new recipe, holy yum. It said, "Wait until completely cooled before slicing." As if.

Mm, coconut and banana sounds good. I bet it would go well with pineapple.

I bet you're right. I actually had to substitute some applesauce because I only had two bananas, but that worked just fine.

Timelies all!

Got to work a little late between having to de-ice my car and driving slowly on the slippery roads. Otherwise, everything's fine here.

I love that Zodiac Killer is trending on Twitter. I had kinda forgotten about that but it’s still hecka funny

Thank you all for being a large enough sample size for basically anything. My mother was trying to say that all of Texas had lost power, and was like, NO. Not the WHOLE grid. My friend in Texas has power! (Dana, right??)

Right. Only a lot of Texas lost power, and we apparently came within minutes of the entire grid going down. Yay? But I have not lost power at all.

I'm definitely not saying it's good. I was just suggesting that if we lost power here, the odds are decent that a nearby relative would still have power (they all live in different directions).

If anything is going to sink Cruz, it's a picture of the front of his house. All lights are out, despite the fact that power in that area came on last night. The killer, though? His dog can be seen looking out the front door. Apparently it was left alone, in the cold and dark, while Cruz took his kids to Cancun, with what looked like luggage for a week's stay.
